Introduction to climate tech startups

The world is facing a major climate crisis, and we must take action. Climate tech startups are playing a massive role in creating innovative solutions to help reduce the impact of global warming. 

From carbon capture and storage to renewable energy sources, these climate tech startups are leading the charge in the fight against climate change. In this blog post, we’ll look at the top climate tech startups you need to know about. These startups are transforming the future of our planet and inspiring others to follow their lead.

Why is climate technology important?

Climate technology refers to using scientific and technological advancements to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change. Climate technology is crucial for several reasons:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: Climate technology is crucial in reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Examples of climate technologies include renewable energy technologies like solar, wind, and hydropower, carbon capture and storage technologies, and energy-efficient buildings and transportation.
• Adapting to climate change: Climate technology can also help us adapt to the already underway climate change impacts. For instance, new technologies are being developed to protect cities from sea level rise, and drought-resistant crops are being developed to help farmers adapt to changing weather patterns.
• Economic benefits: Climate technology can drive economic growth and create new jobs. For instance, investments in renewable energy can create new jobs in the clean energy sector and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, which can be significant cost-savings for individuals and businesses in the long run.
• International cooperation: Climate technology can promote international cooperation and collaboration to address the global challenge of climate change. Countries can share their experiences and best practices in developing and deploying climate technologies, which can accelerate progress toward a low-carbon future.

Overall, climate technology is critical for mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change and creating a sustainable, low-carbon future.

How is AI used in climate change?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to play a significant role in addressing climate change in various ways. Here are some examples of how AI is being used to tackle climate change:

• Climate modeling: AI is used in climate modeling to help us better understand how the climate is changing and predict future scenarios. AI can analyze large datasets to identify patterns and trends that human researchers may miss. This can help us better understand the impacts of climate change on the environment, people, and the economy.
• Renewable energy optimization: AI is used to optimize renewable energy systems, such as wind and solar power, to increase their efficiency and reduce costs. AI algorithms can predict weather patterns and adjust energy output accordingly, reducing waste and increasing reliability.
• Energy management: AI is used in energy management systems to optimize energy use and reduce waste. AI can analyze patterns in energy consumption and adjust usage accordingly, lowering costs and carbon emissions.
• Carbon capture and storage: AI is being used to develop more efficient and cost-effective carbon capture and storage technologies. AI can help identify optimal locations for carbon capture and storage facilities and develop algorithms to optimize their performance.
• Climate adaptation: AI is being used to develop tools to help communities adapt to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise and extreme weather events. AI can be used to analyze data from satellites and sensors to predict and track these events and provide early warning systems.

What are some impactful examples of Climate Tech?

Here are some examples of Climate Tech:

• Renewable Energy Technologies: Renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, and hydropower are increasingly being used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote clean energy.
• Energy Efficiency Technologies: Energy-efficient technologies such as smart thermostats, LED lighting, and efficient HVAC systems are being developed to reduce energy use and save money.
• Energy Storage Technologies: Energy storage technologies such as batteries, pumped hydro, and thermal storage is being developed to store renewable energy and provide backup power.
• Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies: Carbon capture and storage technologies are being developed to capture carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial processes and store them underground.
• Sustainable Agriculture Technologies: Sustainable agriculture technologies such as precision agriculture and vertical farming are being developed to improve crop yields and reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture.
• Clean Transportation Technologies: Clean transportation technologies such as electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are being developed to reduce emissions from the transportation sector.
• Climate Data and Analytics Technologies: Climate data and analytics technologies such as remote sensing, satellite imaging, and machine learning are being developed to understand climate change better and develop effective mitigation and adaptation strategies.

These are just a few examples of Climate Tech. Many more innovative technologies are being developed to tackle climate change and build a more sustainable future.

How do you measure impact?

With more than two-thirds of companies failing to report or measure their scope 3 emissions, despite often representing 70% of a business’s total emissions, it’s clear companies need support to take control of the environmental impact of their supply chains. Pledge is a climate software product that helps businesses on their journey to Net Zero, providing the essential tools for companies to measure, manage and reduce the impact of their logistics supply chains.

To measure impact at Pledge we closely follow a business’ Net Zero journey, tracking three key metrics:

• Measure: Tonnes of emissions measured via our product, commonly known at Pledge as “Carbon Under Management”

• Reduce: Insights provided to customers, such as identifying emissions “hotspots”, to help reduce emissions. This can be driven by various factors such as “modal shifts”, where customers switch from highly polluting transport modes (e.g., Air) to more efficient ones (e.g., Rail)

• Remove: Tonnes of carbon removed from the atmosphere, driven by the purchase of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) offsets on our marketplace.

• Founding year: 2020
• Headquarters: Zug, Zug, Switzerland
• Funding: Seed

How do you measure impact?

We define “impact” as all initiatives that unlock or help scale climate action. This can be on a macro-level, by building infrastructure that powers more efficient carbon markets (which is what we at Toucan are doing). But the impact can also happen on a micro-level, for example by improving the lives of the members of small and rural communities.

The impact is generally hard to measure as it comes in so many different shapes and formats. On the topic of carbon credits, metrics to look at are trading volume, the percentage of nature-based credits that are being issued, and the number of carbon credit retirements. The key thing here: To measure impact, we need a transparent carbon market where trading history, retirement data, and credit details can be accessed and verified by anyone. This is possible – we’re using blockchain technology as a highly effective tool to improve transparency and accessibility, and to support the shift to a more open carbon market.
