📣Announcement of two key milestones in our climate action efforts! Future Energy Ventures joins a growing number of businesses choosing to go beyond mere offsetting of emissions, and rather focusing on maximizing the positive climate impact per €. We do this by setting an internal carbon fee, and donating the amount generated to the Climate Transformation Fund by Milkywire. This fund supports emerging, durable carbon removal projects with cataclyctic capital, decarbonization through both renewable energy and advocacy, and nature restoration and protection. Our Impact Lead, Natalie Milde elaborates more on our motivation and the details below, check it out! #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ClimateTech #Innovation #CarbonCompensation

👉 Business strategy and net zero for companies Net zero for companies refers to the goal of achieving a balance between the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions a company produces and the GHG emissions it removes from the atmosphere. The concept of #netzero is rooted in the urgent need to address climate change and limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, as outlined in the Paris Agreement. To achieve net zero, companies must first measure and understand their current GHG emissions across their operations, including direct emissions from their own activities (known as Scope 1 emissions) and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heating, and cooling (known as Scope 2 emissions), as well as other indirect emissions from their value chain (known as Scope 3 emissions). Once a company has a clear understanding of its emissions profile, it can take steps to reduce its emissions through various strategies and technologies. This may involve improving energy efficiency, transitioning to renewable energy sources, adopting low-carbon technologies, optimizing supply chains, and implementing sustainable practices. However, it is important to note that achieving net zero does not mean eliminating all emissions entirely. Some emissions may be difficult to eliminate completely, such as those from certain industrial processes or long-haul transportation. In such cases, companies can invest in offsetting measures, such as investing in projects that remove or reduce GHG emissions elsewhere, such as reforestation, afforestation, or carbon capture and storage. In summary, achieving net zero for companies involves measuring, reducing, and offsetting GHG emissions to the point where the company's overall emissions are balanced by the removal or offsetting of an equivalent amount of emissions, resulting in a net zero contribution to climate change. It requires a comprehensive and holistic approach to sustainability and often involves setting science-based targets and engaging stakeholders throughout the value chain to drive meaningful change.

I had a fantastic time hosting our VC panel at SF Climate Week with renowned partners from Lowercarbon Capital, Congruent Ventures, and Third Sphere. Our venue was packed as attendees also joined us for additional panels on energy, forestry, and agriculture tech. Here are some highlights: 💼 Climate-tech investments: VCs are zeroing in on Climate 2.0 investments that promise strategic returns as much as positive impact. “From a capitalist perspective, the 5 to 10 year period is going to be absolutely gangbusters for climate. We have to decarbonize the entire economy, the companies that make it in the next couple of years are going to have phenomenal outcomes.” -Abe Yokell, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Congruent Ventures 🔬 Technological breakthroughs: We're witnessing rapid advancements in electrification, AI, gene editing, and autonomous technologies. “Last year the number of disasters that are deemed billion-dollar disasters was the highest ever in a single year, at 28. ClimateAI helps companies anticipate and mitigate those risks and how we do that is we offer seasonal forecasts from zero to six months as well as decennial climate projections 10, 20, 30, 40 years out so that companies can make decisions in the short and long term.” - Lena Backe, Product & Innovation, ClimateAI 🔗 Partnerships & policies: Each panel underscored the importance of public-private collaborations and the impact of the IRA and policy-driven incentives. “There are parts of the IRA that are making so much progress in terms of job creation, including some of the investments that are happening in manufacturing right now in places like the southeast, the Battery Belt. If you look at all the new factories opening up in states like Georgia and South Carolina and Arizona, it would be hard for legislators to pull all that progress back at this point.” -Ian Magruder, Head of Partnerships, Rewiring America 👥 Owning your narrative: Startups need to reshape environmental narratives, develop a strong point of view, and translate innovation into tangible value and impact to help shape customer behavior. “The climate choice - or the clean choice - just needs to be the affordable and accessible choice, and that's why we are investing in companies that are developing products and services that are cheaper better, faster, tastier, and have more resilient supply chains than the incumbents” -Clea Kolster, PhD, Partner and Head of Science, Lowercarbon Capital 🌿 Talent: There's a huge opportunity for professionals with diverse skills to join climate tech startups, combining exciting professional growth with purpose. The industry is highly collaborative -and filled with cool people! "Climate is eating everything, climate is going to take over the entire economy." -Abe Yokell, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Congruent Ventures.
