'Investing Ahead of the Decarbonization Curve' is the first report in our 'Deep Tech X Energy Series'. It's a high-level overview and the first in a suite of six reports that will be published during 2023, which will include deep dives and an analysis of the latest trends in:
Overview
The 2015 Paris Agreement set the goal to limit global warming and pursue net carbon neutrality by 2050. This requires society and industry to transition away from fossil fuels, to reduce future emissions, and demands innovations that can lower energy consumption and existing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. At the same time, economic growth and digitalization demands increased energy production and energy security.
Private investments in technologies that are targeting energy are booming in contrast to downward trends in global venture capital activity. While we believe that increased public and private financing in the sector is directionally positive, it will be the quality, not quantity, of investments that ultimately moves the needle towards net neutrality. Investors will also need to carefully navigate the trends to identify authentic risk-reward balanced opportunities.
