When discussing investments in harder-to-abate areas with investors and bankers, the term "unbankable" frequently arises. This signifies that these projects are perceived to carry excessive operational and technology risks, and the return on investment is not deemed high enough to justify these risks. Consequently, there is a significant gap in investment directed toward decarbonizing these challenging sectors. In a recent talk, Claire Curry, Head of Technology, Industry and Innovation at BNEF, addresses how to advance the bankability of climate technologies, particularly for these #hardtoabate sectors. Her strategic framework and introducing #LIFTOFF is essential for scaling pioneering projects. The Bloomberg New Economy Climate Technology Coalition is dedicated to identifying and rapidly scaling the next generation of climate-critical green technologies. These innovations will be instrumental in achieving the world’s climate goals. Join us in supporting and promoting these essential advancements to ensure a sustainable future.

Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) illustrates the current "readiness" of #ClimateTechs their potential impact on carbon reduction. As shown, many techs are at an early stage of being able to have a material impact. Concerningly, some tech funds recently returned capital back to investors recently closed their funds - citing inability to fund capital intensive techs, found in areas like ClimateTech. This in part may be contributing to the $2 trillion shortfall in ClimateTech, that Deloitte estimates. What this may mean for the future? - The migration of LPs to global, super VC funds within ClimateTech, given the large capital pools needed to fund tech development - Greater specialization from smaller funds, energizing more niche elements of the ClimateTech market - but also altering their / LP's risk profile - A greater role to be played by debt financing in funding growth entities at an earlier stage - impacting cashflow dynamics Will be an interesting space to watch moving forward. We at The Proptech Connection are constantly working with all parts of the Proptech ecosystem. From the leading LPs, funds, techs and adopters in market, providing an independent view.
