Applications open📣 CGS and Schar School are accepting applications for the 2024 Energy and Climate-tech Innovation Policy Boot Camp! Attendees will strengthen their understanding of energy and climate-tech policy and how to make a real-world impact! More: climatetech.schar.gmu.edu
From last week's WU Vienna panel on sustainability with Chuck Robbins Cisco, André Martinuzzi & Danijela Grubnic. Climate challenges are big, but we need to be solutions-oriented and scalable -- and private-sector leadership is essential to complement policies and meet goals.
💨 Technologies for capturing #CO2 from the air (#DACCS) can complement strategies to reduce CO2 emissions at the source—but depending on how they scale, says a recent study involving Kavita Surana from Complexity Science Hub and WU Vienna, published in PNASNews ➡️ bit.ly/4ach5Or
A new study co-led by Assistant Professor Morgan Edwards examined the potential of direct air capture with carbon storage (DACCS) technology. Learn how DACCS may help countries and other groups meet carbon dioxide emissions goals. 🔽 lafollette.wisc.edu/news/new-resea…
Public funding matters for #climatetech startups but what's next? Our paper in Nature Energy shows how corporate venture capital in climatetech complements publicly funded #startups & boosts exit rates by 155%, compared to 78% from other private #venturecapital investors.👇🏽
New research from Kathleen Kennedy and team finds that public grants tend to back high-risk climate and energy start-ups in the US, and publicly funded start-ups exit at higher rates with corporate backing. Kavita Surana, Morgan Edwards, Center for Global Sustainability, WU Vienna buff.ly/44IYQPk
Climate-tech start-ups are vital to deploying new tech for #netzero but barriers to success persist. A new Nature Energy study analyzes the combined effects of different investments to accelerate innovation ➡️ market: doi.org/10.1038/s41560…
Recent public funding has jumpstarted climate innovation but more diverse funding is needed to get start-ups off the ground. A new Nature Energy study finds corporate investments coupled with public & private funding can accelerate new tech: go.umd.edu/StartupOutcomes
