Doing good is good business..and good for economic growth "The net zero sector is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy... [It] accounted for 1.1% of the UK’s total GVA, making it bigger than the farming and advertising and market research sectors." according to a report from The CBI (Confederation of British Industry). Similarly in China, "clean energy" industry accounted for 10% of GDP. In the US "green" jobs grew twice as fast as the rest of the labor market. 🇬🇧 : https://lnkd.in/esdm3Ts9 🇨🇳 : https://lnkd.in/dXWVf2Y5 🇺🇸 : https://lnkd.in/d5H9KnEj #GreenIndustries #Sustainability #DecouplingGrowth

A recent research paper by Stanford University highlights how critical more efficient cooling becomes "For each degree of warming... energy used per square foot to cool urban buildings will increase on average by nearly 14%." We therefore need solutions like Blue Frontier, Inc. deployed as broadly as possible, as quickly as possible.

Our Partner Rahul Parekh talks to UBS Investment Bank on why cities "are good for humans but bad for humanity" and are the critical battle space in our global fight against climate change #SustainableCities #ClimateChange #ClimateTech #UrbanSolutions
“If we can’t win the war on decarbonization in cities, we can’t get to net-zero globally.” At the UBS Private Companies Showcase, Rahul Parekh, Partner at venture capital firm 2150, discussed the role that cities have in helping economies head towards net-zero targets. With cities already contributing 70% of the world’s emissions and continued urbanization expected to see up to 70% of the world’s population living in cities over the next 30 years, Rahul discusses how to make cities more resilient, more sustainable and more efficient.

We are happy to join over 100 leading cleantech innovators and investors from across Europe in an open letter calling on the European Commission to deliver an ambitious Clean Industrial Deal. The letter emphasizes the opportunity for Europe to spur growth, reduce energy costs, and intensify global competition by supporting clean technologies. Europe's Clean Industrial Deal can: 🚀 Boost demand for cleantech through procurement and policies 🔌 Make electricity cheaper and more accessible 🔐 Unlock private capital through public de-risking mechanisms. There is a compelling business case for clean technologies, which can support Europe's industrial future, increase energy independence and reduce costs for consumers. Read the full open letter: https://lnkd.in/e_8zcV3P Cleantech for Europe | Cleantech for Nordics
📨 Open letter: 100+ Cleantech Leaders Urge European Commission for Bold Action in Clean Industrial Deal 📨 Today, over 100 leading cleantech innovators and investors from across Europe come together to call on the European Commission to deliver an ambitious Clean Industrial Deal that will drive the EU’s competitive decarbonisation and secure its leadership in clean technologies. In an open letter to President Ursula von der Leyen and Commissioners Stéphane Séjourné; Teresa Ribera and Wopke Hoekstra, Europe’s #cleantech industry outlines the urgent need for bold action in 2025 to address the perfect storm of challenges facing Europe: geopolitical instability, higher #energy costs, and mounting global #competition. The forthcoming Clean Industrial Deal must focus on sending two decisive market signals: 📈 A demand surge for cleantech: helping industries become more competitive by adopting state-of-the-art cleantech, establishing lead markets, integrating innovation into public procurement, maintaining the ambition of the ETS and CBAM, and fostering fair trade policies. 💶 Targeted public de-risking mechanisms: Expanding EU funding and guarantees to act as signal towards Europe’s €38 trillion in private capital to unlock cleantech’s full potential. Public guarantees and counter guarantees (such as those under the Wind Package) are helping to unlock private financing and working capital for cleantech manufacturing while being fiscally efficient. The EU and European Investment Bank (EIB) should prioritise creating blended finance vehicles pooling institutional investor capital on a large scale to unlock credit instruments which are critical to scaling industries. Europe already can point to pioneering stories like Energy Dome (long duration energy storage, Italy), Stegra (green steel, Sweden), Sunfire (electrolysers, Germany), and Verkor (battery gigafactories, France)—but we need many more. With the right policies in place, the Clean Industrial Deal can create a strong business case for cleantech scale-ups, transitioning industries, and a prosperous, sustainable future for all European citizens. This is why this letter is led by cleantech initiatives across Europe: Cleantech for Iberia Tech for Net Zero Cleantech for France Cleantech for Italy Cleantech for Nordics Cleantech for Baltics This is a make-or-break moment for Europe’s industry. The EU must leverage its cleantech edge to reach industrial leadership in the next decade. 📄 Read the full open letter and join us in shaping Europe’s clean industrial future: https://lnkd.in/e_8zcV3P AFYREN Atlas Agro Baseload Capital Battolyser Systems Build to Zero Circular Carbon CAPHENIA Climeworks CorPower Ocean cylib Daze DeepDrive Ecocem Global ecoLocked Electrochaea Electra FertigHy Genvia GravitHy GreenCap Solutions AS Greenlyte Carbon Technologies Heart Aerospace Hydrogenious LOHC HyperHeat
