Decarbonization is a megatrend
Part 3 - It’s a matter of money
An expensive ticket for the future
Welcome to the third part of this deep dive focused on unveiling the frontier of decarbonization. Last time, we spoke about why we need heavy industries to deploy and operate renewable technologies needed to transition toward a low-carbon economy.
Unfortunately, we need to do another reality check: technology alone is not enough.
Technological innovations and companies are known to be costly, and to be constantly in need massive amounts of money to launch, market, and scale their solutions.
And that’s exactly the topic of today: money 💵
How can we build a low-carbon future using money as a supercharger for innovation and discovery?
Let’s find it out in today’s issue of TCTB.

In the decarbonization space, the degree of uncertainty skyrockets 🚀
