We are a climate innovation think tank.
We exist to close the remaining innovation gaps to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
To reach this objective, we accelerate innovation in critical industries – such as cement, aviation, or shipping – where sustainable solutions are still in very early stages. We urge policy-makers to intensify and better prioritize their R&D activities. Moreover, we initiate and actively drive high-level research consortia on critical technologies for these neglected technological sectors. Learn more about our work on our core topics:
Energy System
As intermittent renewable energy increases, energy storage will be crucial for security of supply.
Transport
Aviation and shipping together are responsible for about 5% of global annual CO2 emissions.
Construction
Cement production contributes ~5% of global emissions and demand is expected to continue growing.
Green Hydrogen
Hydrogen’s role in the German and European path to climate neutrality is highly controversial.
Future Energy System
Transport
Construction
Green Hydrogen
Europe's most ambitious Future Cleantech Festival, looked towards a net-zero 2050, zooming in on the innovation processes in some of the hardest- to-abate sectors, such as Construction, Transport, and the Future Energy System. With a focus on the coming European elections in June, we met experts from disruptive innovation agencies and intergovernmental players charting the course for the next European Commission and Parliament for 2024-2029.
Our Highlights
We believe that cleantech can only be effectively advanced through a holistic
approach. Find a selection of our latest work below:
