Making climate tech solutions scalable and affordable

Many climate tech, like renewable energy, EVs or LED light bulbs, follow a declining cost curves as they innovate, improve, and scale, lowering the cost of adoption and deployment over time. However, harder-to-scale solutions like carbon capture or green hydrogen face challenges such as regulatory hurdles and raw material constraints. Reducing their deployment cost requires investment and innovation, essential for making such solutions affordable globally. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for policymakers, investors, businesses and technopreneurs as they navigate the landscape of technological progress and determine which innovations are most likely to hold the keys to a net-zero future.
 
Through a thoughtful exchange of perspectives, this session aims to identify strategies for overcoming these challenges and accelerating the development and deployment of solutions.
