Climate tech

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.

“Climate tech is about reversing today’s emissions while preventing tomorrow’s - with solutions that scale fast enough to matter.”

Explore all our investment verticals

  • Our current linear ‘take-make-waste’ system use 60% more resources than the earth can generate every year. We invest in solutions that enable reuse, upcycling and recycling of waste streams to enable a circular economy.
