FCA's Milestones 2024
2024 was an exceptionally productive year at Future Cleantech Architects. We hired great talents for our leadership team, cleantech analysts’ unit and our European policy team. We continued our work on the hard-to abate sectors of construction and aviation, and also on long duration and thermal energy storage and hydrogen. FCA not only hosted a third iteration of Future Cleantech Festival, we also continued our Coffee & Cleantech event series, a monthly technical briefing for policymakers in Brussels and for the first time, we expanded our series to the Parliament in Berlin.
Moreover, we released two new episodes of our series “The Basics & The Gaps” – on thermal energy storage and expanded our hydrogen episode –, released two policy briefs – on aviation and book an claim –, and launched two technical reports – on and decarbonizing high-temperature heat in industry.
Finally, we took the analysis and results from our publications and work to COP29 in Baku, where we co-hosted an official side event on public-private synergies for the global energy transition and a roundtable on the future of high-temperature industrial heat.
We are also proud to announce that Future Cleantech Architects was endorsed by Giving Green as a top recommendation.
The FCA Timeline
First event in Washington
FCA hosted a session on thermal energy storage and industry as part of the Transatlantic Initiative on Sustainable Trade.

FCA presented results from our research on decarbonizing high-temperature heat in a panel on “Green Security — Empowering Climate Tech to Advance Energy Resilience”.
Factsheet on Thermal Energy Storage
All you need to know about thermal energy storage and decarbonizing the heat sector.
Policy Brief on Aviation
Our brief discusses how to ensure European aviation not only aligns with Europe’s 2050 carbon neutrality objective but also mitigates non-CO2 effects, addressing the sector’s total warming impact.
Future Cleantech Festival
Our festival showcased cutting-edge cleantech solutions across the sectors of Transport, Construction, Innovation, and the Future Energy System, focusing on collaboration aimed at identifying specific next steps for the EU agenda.
Future Cleantech Priorities Report
An interdisciplinary report that focuses on key takeaways from the Festival and actionable policy recommendations, based also our overall work, for the new EU Agenda.
FCF alongside the SB Sessions
We hosted an event on the key takeaways and policy recommendations of the festival upon invitation of UN Climate Change’s Technology Executive Committee.
Policy Brief on Book and Claim
This brief outlines our six policy recommendations to ensure the effective implementation of a Book and Claim scheme for SAFs.
Decarbonizing the Cement Value Chain
Our Cement Value Chain provides a comprehensive overview of the various solutions, their potential, and where they fit in the big picture of the construction value chain.
Report on ReFuelEU Aviation's Targets
Our technical report analyzes the feasibility of meeting this regulation’s SAF targets by 2050.
Report on Decarbonizing High-Temperature Heat
Our technical report comprehensively compares the different technology pathways available for decarbonizing high-temperature heat processes in industry.
Endorsement by Giving Green
We have been listed in Giving Green’s selection of the most effective climate nonprofits! Giving Green is a leading climate charity evaluator, which has analyzed our work and impact.
First Coffee & Cleantech in Berlin
In a turbulent time for German politics, our technical briefing series for policymakers took place for the first time in the German capital's Bundestag to talk about hydrogen and its derivatives.
FCA at COP29 in Baku
FCA co-hosted one Official Side Event on Leveraging Public-Private Synergies to Accelerate the Global Energy Transition and a roundtable on The Future of Industrial Heat, as well as participated in different events and interviews.
Coffee & Cleantech
Our series of 45-minute technical briefings provides policymakers and advisers with a concise yet sufficient overview on technological innovations for decarbonizing the most neglected hard-to-abate sectors.
The Future Cleantech Festival
The Future Cleantech Festival 2024 discussed strategies and approaches in Transport, Construction, and the Future Energy System, and the priorities that the EU must embrace to achieve its targets.
FCA at COP29
We shared our work at COP29 in Baku and co-hosting an official side event on the global energy transition and a roundtable on the future of induastrial heat.
Future Cleantech Factsheets
The Basics & The Gaps, a FCA factsheet and animation series. This year we published editions on thermal energy storage and an extended version of hydrogen.
