🌎 Exciting times in the ocean startup space! In CREO’s latest report, "Ocean-Positive Investments Market Snapshot," written by our Oceans Sector Manager, Aly Rose, writes that since 2017, we've seen a remarkable rise in ventures focused on "nature-positive" initiatives that support biodiversity, combat climate change, and empower communities. Together, these startups have attracted over $2.2 billion in venture funding, showcasing a strong commitment to ocean health. While technological innovations are driving investment, we must boost interest and mobilize new capital for ocean-positive opportunities. Success in this dynamic field can lead to a thriving marine ecosystem that benefits us all. Check out the report which sheds light on funding gaps and highlights the opportunities for investment in ocean-positive solutions here: https://lnkd.in/eCJyp3-7 #OceanHealth #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CREO

The geothermal sector is heating up—literally. 2024 has been called the hottest year on record for geothermal. Next-generation geothermal players announced exciting technology advancements, hyperscaler agreements, and raised almost as much as in all years prior. CREO’s latest report, "Geothermal Power Generation" is a market snapshot from our Senior Manager, Energy, David Siap which provides a market update for the geothermal sector. Geothermal has been a relatively small portion of the power mix in the US, currently around less 0.4%. But there’s more potential just below the surface, as new technologies adopted in part from the oil and gas industry have greatly expanded the generation potential. Like nuclear, geothermal appears poised to provide clean, firm, dispatchable power at relatively low costs. Unlike nuclear, the geothermal sector is relatively new and innovation in project finance to derisk scaling the new technologies could be critical in getting the sector off the ground.

The U.S. will need a staggering 500-1,000 GW of clean firm generation by 2050—a scale that dwarfs today’s numbers. (For context, the IEA puts total global installed capacity across all sources at 9,400 GW.) Driven by grid decarbonization and load growth from electrification and new demand from sources like AI data centers, this trend powers investment opportunities up and down the capital stack and across technologies, including many such as nuclear and geothermal that dominated headlines and deal flow in 2024. CREO's latest report from David Siap, "Clean Firm Generation: Mapping the Premier Energy Growth Market of the Next 10 Years"examines the technologies that will meet the demand for clean firm generation and gives a perspective on how to invest in the sector, which is comprised of many players at varying stages of maturity. Clean firm startups have raised over $10B to date, much in the last few years, and while the sector shows no signs of slowing down it’s not without risk.

We are excited to share our latest research by Kobi Weinberg, “An Introduction to Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Contracts for Climate Projects.”    Deploying climate technology in large-scale infrastructure projects is essential to meet urgent sustainability goals. EPC contracts can play a critical role in the financing and construction of these projects. Understanding the importance of EPC contracts, as well as their benefits and limitations and how to evaluate, negotiate, and customize them, can help climate entrepreneurs and investors increase the chances that projects are built on-budget and on-time.
