The Need for Innovation from Startups to Achieve Net-Zero Goals

Research by the International Energy Agency (IEA) has shown that nearly three-quarters of the technologies that are needed to get to global Net-Zero targets are still in the early-stages. Many of these will be commercialised by startups, as startups have over the past decades continuously demonstrated that they are able to take early lab-scale inventions and take them through an ‘innovation cycle’ quickly and reliably so that we get to usable solutions that are deployable at scale.

Introducing Climate Challenges

Climate Challenges helps market actors (discoms, IPPs and manufacturing industries) engage with innovative solutions from climate tech startups to undertake pilots as a pathway toward their decarbonisation goals.

Our Approach
