I have a natural understanding of the tech world, particularly the engineering side of things, and many years’ experience commercializing businesses. I wanted to apply this to climate change mitigation. For this, an Article 9 fund is an enabler. It’s the right format if you want to invest in what actually matters and your ambition is to reshape the very fabric of industry…

Nuclear is not just one of the cleanest but also the fastest way we’ve decarbonized large grids. Renewable energy is great. But there are some essential limitations. Among renewables, only wind and solar can be practically deployed almost anywhere. However, their intermittent nature means that it’s sensible for just around 20% of electricity production in a given market to rely on them. If we had super-cheap large-scale long-duration storage solutions, that number could come up quite a lot. But we don’t. Not even close.

Novatron reactor concept holds the promise of reaching commercially attractive fusion power as one of the first, if not the first, in the world.

“Electrodes serve as the beating heart of all electrolysers and fuel cells. The evolution of electrodes plays a pivotal role in determining the triumph of the green hydrogen industry, much like the revolutionary impact of microchip innovation in the personal computing era.”

“The green transition requires Infrastructure-like ticket sizes with a VC-like risk appetite“ as one of our friends in the investor space put it. As such tickets are unlikely to emerge as a significant financial product in the ecosystem, we need to find creative ways to overcome the challenge with the existing ecosystem players.

Fermify’s platform provides a solution for in-house production of casein proteins, which is the missing piece to produce vegan cheeses that taste great and have the right meltability and structure.

ZeroPoint’s technology can drastically increase the energy efficiency of servers, delivering up to 50% more performance per watt by removing unnecessary information from the memory. This means that data centers can maximize performance and reduce energy consumption.

We finally have a solution to decentralize and localize production, solve the global feed shortage and accelerate the transition towards low-carbon alternative proteins, all at once.

Europe is the world’s fastest growing heat pumps market. Heat pumps are favored by European government policies suggesting a trend of rapid adoption and a mass scale-up.

Wayout’s business concept of producing water locally means dealing with several sustainability challenges at once. We have a 360-degree approach to water supply. It is one of our success factors.

Conventional plastics contribute about 4.5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (World Economic Forum, 2021) — not to mention the numerous negative impacts on human health and biodiversity (more on that here). That’s why we’re so excited to invest in one.five. They are bridging the gap between research and commercialization to bring more sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics into the market.

Continuum could be the first to market with a scalable, zero-emissions approach to industrial waste recycling. The construction of their first 36,000- ton capacity plant at the Port of Esbjerg, Denmark will start in 2023, and they will be ready to accept feedstock in late 2023.
