Climate tech
Technology plays a key role in decarbonizing industries. We invest in climate technologies that help us reduce GHG emissions and save earth’s resources, from AI to carbon capture technologies.
We invest in climate technologies that help cut global emissions
Global emissions continue to rise, driven not only by legacy industries but increasingly by the rapid growth of AI, data centres, and cloud computing. Climate tech must address both historic emissions and the next wave of energy demand.
Our investment thesis
We invest in climate technologies that reduce, remove, or avoid emissions at scale — with a clear focus on solutions that make the digital economy compatible with planetary boundaries. This includes high-quality carbon removal as well as technologies that reduce the energy and emissions footprint of AI, data centres, and cloud infrastructure.
What we are looking for
- Technologies that significantly reduce energy use, emissions, or cooling demand from AI, data centres, and cloud computing
- Hardware-enabled software that improves energy efficiency, load management, and system optimisation
- Scalable carbon dioxide removal solutions with durable climate impact
Our investments within climate tech
We have backed founders building solutions within decarbonizing emissions from the increasing use of AI and cloud computing, automating GHG reporting, and carbon removal strategies.
