A great start on a list of resources for teams developing first-of-a-kind projects! We could add the DOE's adoption readiness level framework, Nexus PMG for feasibility and FEL engineering, and NREL Foundation Industry Growth Forum pitch competition. What else would you add?

New Energy Risk has been supporting first-of-a-kind projects with technology performance insurance for over a decade and has enabled over $4B of capital investment. In the past year it has been great to see this topic starting to get the attention it deserves as a critical challenge that needs to be overcome many times over for a whole raft of technologies required for the energy transition, including this essential reading from Trellis Climate. As a chaser, the latest issue of NER's project finance guide: https://lnkd.in/gzzruxJg #technologyperformanceinsurance #foak #energytransition
How can we bridge institutional and capital gaps for first-of-a-kind (FOAK) project development in order to accelerate climate solutions in time and at scale? 💡 Throughout the development and launch of Trellis Climate (including when we were still known as the Early Climate Infrastructure (ECI) program!), we have relied on the 2022 Barriers to the Timely Deployment of Climate Infrastructure report by Prime Coalition to guide our work. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the project development capital gap, which was identified as one of the four gaps in the report, we conducted extensive field research and spoke with many different individuals and organizations, including FOAK climate companies, climate investors, and ecosystem partners. As part of our efforts to promote knowledge sharing, we are excited to announce the publication of our findings 🔍 "Catalyzing Development of First-of-a-Kind Climate Projects” sheds light on the major challenges faced by FOAK projects in the field of climate infrastructure development and proposes viable solutions to overcome them.

Founding Partner @ Driftwood Climate | Helping Private Markets be a part of the Climate Solution
ICYMI - last week the Venture Climate Alliance published the Portfolio Alignment Framework, the first of three net zero frameworks created specifically for the venture capital community. The Driftwood Climate team was honored to have developed this over the past year in partnership with the VCA leadership and member firms. Now is THE pivotal moment for the VC industry to tackle climate change: 🔌 the growth in data center compute for AI applications is causing electric load growth in the US for the first time in 30 years. Every dollar of burn from a VC-backed AI startup has a meaningful carbon footprint, whether or not that company ends up succeeding. 🌎 the climate-mitigating technologies we will need from 2030-2050 are currently being incubated in VC portfolios. The next five years will be critical for scaling, stability and channeling capital to those companies with the clearest route to positive impact. 🏦 the momentum behind net zero alliances has....stalled from the initial wave of optimism after COP26. The VCA has the opportunity (and mandate) to prove that a net zero goal can be practical and value creating. If you find this first framework exciting, just wait for what comes next!
Driftwood Climate was founded to help steer private capital toward climate action and climate solutions. To that end, we've been working closely with the Venture Climate Alliance to design the #NetZero standard, guidance and tools for the #venture community. After over a year of tireless work led by Alexandra Harbour and Daniel Firger and member firms, we are proud to have produced the Portfolio Alignment Framework, the first of three net zero frameworks created by and for venture. This is just the beginning... Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eW2dsFYF

🌿 Discover the Heart of the CARMINE Project - Part 2! The CARMINE Project is built on 8 dynamic Work Packages designed to drive climate resilience in European metropolitan regions. 🌟 Work Package 2 is integrating climate risk assessment models with earth system processes to create a cutting-edge framework that bridges climate models with human activities on a metropolitan scale. This involves enhancing data, processes, tools, and modeling to deliver innovative, user-focused outcomes. WP2 thrives on collaboration with local stakeholders, impact modeling experts, and SE professionals, facilitated by our Living Labs (LLs) and SC-HUB (WP1), and informed by the climate vulnerability and risk assessments from WP3. 🤝 Lead: CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici #CARMINEproject #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResilience #MissionAdaptation #HorizonEurope
