A few days ago I participated in the “South Summit 2024” event held in Madrid. The high-level fireside chat I was part of, suitably titled “Scaling up Cleantech”, provided an invaluable opportunity to delve into the journey of Energy Dome and the broader Cleantech industry. The discussion allowed us to explore the challenges and opportunities we have encountered, from securing financing to navigating complex regulatory environments; and we also deliberated how strategic partnerships, such as the one we are fortunate enough to have formed with Breakthrough Energy , have been instrumental in overcoming hurdles. Furthermore, the fireside chat served as an excellent platform to share our plans and discuss the vitality of the Cleantech industry as a whole. I would like to express my profound gratitude to my co-panelists, Mario Fernandez, Head Of Catalyst at Breakthrough Energy and Irene Gálvez, Head of Division, Cleantech Equity & Growth Capital at European Investment Bank (EIB). This conversation wouldn’t have been the same without their wise and expert input. I also extend my appreciation to our moderator, Bianca Dragomir of Cleantech for Iberia, who ensured our discussion was both engaging and relevant. My heartfelt thanks to the organizers and the staff who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this event. #EnergyDome #OurWorldCantWait #sustainability #longdurationenergystorage #innovation #CO2Battery #decarbonization #LDES #renewables

What a great evening debating with our clients about the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition ! Our panelists Michael Anseeuw (CEO BNP Paribas Fortis), Veronique Hoflack (CEO Unilin), Guy Janssens (CCAO Port of Antwerp-Bruges) and Luc Vandenbulcke (CEO DEME Group) insisted on the challenges they are facing (energy prices, level-playing field, ETS, stable policy framework, the critical role of technology and finance...). They also reacted to comments from the audience, e.g. about rebound effects of technology efficiency and the importance of regulation to incentivize climate friendly ways of producing and living. My main take-away from this debate is the transition (really) won't be easy, but companies have an undeniable role to play. Many thanks to the panelists for this events. Many thanks also to Valerie Thys and Julien Pestiaux for facilitating the debate and huge congrat's to my colleague Laurie Pazienza for organizing all this in our new offices. #Industry #Transitionplan #climateaction #ESG

🔎What are the trends for #climatetech in 2024? Michael Langguth, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer from our Associate Founder member Carbon13, outlines the trends that could shape 2024. 🍃Renewables - In 2024, renewable energy investment and innovation will continue to reach new heights and capital markets will swing their weight behind climate tech, but the carbon market industry’s turbulent ride isn’t over yet. 💷Investment - Even though total investment figures didn’t quite match the lofty heights of 2022’s $18 billion, climate tech investing continues to show remarkable resilience. 💶Finance - A range of EU initiatives, designed to match America’s aggressive climate spending package, have made large bundles of cash and grants available for research, development and commercialisation of new projects. In fact Horizon Europe's four out of five missions are climate related. #cleantech Find out more: https://ow.ly/gmsn50Qnjaf

Exciting developments in the clean energy sector are propelling the global energy transition at an unprecedented pace. At a recent RMI webinar Kingsmill Bond, senior principal in the RMI Strategy Team, presented compelling data that showcases how cleantech is rapidly outpacing fossil fuels across multiple industries. Key insights from the webinar: 1. China's remarkable growth in renewables, EVs, and battery technology is driving global change 2. Emerging economies are experiencing exponential growth in clean energy adoption 3. Global fossil fuel demand in electricity likely reached its peak last year 4. Cleantech costs continue to decline, with projections suggesting a 20% reduction for every doubling of deployment 5. The fossil fuel industry faces potential stranded assets valued in the trillions 6. The drivers of this transition are self-reinforcing, accelerating the pace of change For an in-depth look at these trends and more, watch the full webinar: https://lnkd.in/eCSF24ni As we witness this rapid shift, it's clear that the energy transition is not just a possibility, but an inevitability happening faster than many anticipated. #EnergyTransition #CleanTech #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability
