There is no fusion without solving the fuel cycle. ⚛️ Great to see our portfolio company, Marathon Fusion, featured in the latest TechCrunch article on the future of fusion plants! Their groundbreaking technology is paving the way for sustainable fusion energy, tackling the critical challenge of the fuel cycle head-on. Fusion energy holds immense promise for a clean and abundant energy future, but without innovative solutions for faster fuel recycling, reduction of tritium inventory, and savings on fuel processing CAPEX, this promise could remain unfulfilled. Marathon Fusion is at the forefront of this innovation, ensuring that future fusion power plants can indeed light up our world. Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ePewrrbg

We are thrilled to announce our latest addition to our portfolio: Companion.energy 🥳⚡ The industrial sector holds the greatest potential for driving the energy transition. But as renewable energy integration increases, so does energy price volatility, which is a considerable challenge for industrial companies – proactive energy management is essential. Companion.energy is on a mission to harness this potential by helping clients manage their energy needs. Companion.energy's machine learning platform enables industrial companies to manage their energy needs in real-time. It integrates operational data, considers current energy contracts, and forecasts energy needs and costs, allowing companies to adapt to price fluctuations and reduce emissions. We are excited to support Thomas Vyncke, Jonas Verstraeten, and Companion.energy together with our respected co-investors Cavalry Ventures and Entourage on their journey towards a greener future! 🙌

We are thrilled to announce our latest investment into 8inks! The spin-off from ETH Zürich has developed a technology that aims to make the battery production process up to 10x faster and 30% more cost-effective. 🔋🥳 Based on production techniques used in the paper and photography industry, 8inks worked with a "multi-layer coating process". This saves costs in terms of both investment and operating expenses. At the same time, the process would improve the energy density of the batteries. We're looking forward embark on this exciting adventure together with the entire 8inks team as well as with our valued co-investors such as Founderful.

We're excited to announce Jonas Hornung's well-deserved promotion to Principal! 🎉 Joining us just 11 months ago, Jonas quickly made a notable impact by co-leading investments in cutting-edge sectors like nuclear fusion, energy efficiency, reversible computing, and bio-manufacturing. Congratulations, Jonas! Very well deserved! We're happy to have you on board!

🚨 What if we need to be much faster? https://lnkd.in/d4D9HPpY The urgency to address climate change has never been greater, with recent reports showing that ocean surface temperatures are much higher than previously predicted. This trend suggests that climate change may be progressing faster than previously thought and that current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may not be enough to prevent catastrophic consequences as societies are not (yet) willing to drastically reduce consumption or substitute fossil fuel intensive products and services by more expensive with less polluting ones. So, if we were to accelerate our plans to reduce the concentration of GHG to a level that limits global warming, we need to remove gigatonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere fast (within 3-5 years) and durably (store it in a way that prevents it from being released back into the atmosphere for a long time).

🛫 How to properly offset your flight emissions You shouldn't fly. Period. It's very carbon intensive and the contrails of the plane add an additional greenhouse effect. In fact, it's the most carbon intensive thing you can do as an individual. Only 1% of people cause half of global aviation emissions, which account for 2.5% of all global CO2 emissions; imagine everyone would fly. But sometimes you have to fly and sometimes you want to fly. So, what can you do? Read all about it in our latest edition of the Übermorgen News Brief: https://lnkd.in/dmRuCdWz

We're excited to announce that we've invested in Vaire Computing 💽 ― Here's why: There is global warming, and then there is very, very local warming: As more and more transistors are packed in smaller and smaller spaces, computing chips become hotter and hotter. (As most notebook users notice when playing a game or doing a video call.) There are ways to manage that heat, but there is a lower limit to how energy-efficient we can get with today's computing paradigm, which is centered around electrons and irreversible computing. This limit is called Landauer Limit and is derived from the principles of thermodynamics. It causes several laws in computing to break or slow down (Koomey's law, Moore's law, Dennard scaling), which in essence boils (no pun intended) down to: Making chips denser will yield diminishing marginal utility over time. This is maybe most evident today in data centers and their enormous need for energy and cooling, leading to water shortage in some communities. In order to break through the Landauer Limit, we'll likely need a new computing paradigm. While all eyes are on quantum computing, there are other contenders: One is Reversible Computing, where a different kind of logic gates is used to reduce energy dissipation. Vaire is using Reversible Computing and related principles to make computing at least an order of magnitude faster and/or more energy efficient and has assembled a team that is best positioned to execute on that ambition. That's why.
