Cleantech 2.0: How New Technologies are Promoting Environmental Sustainability

The new-found interest around environmental technologies, dubbed cleantech 2.0 emphasizes taking more sustainable approaches to save the earth as it is dealing with a slew of pressing problems such as climate change, mass extinction, and depleting natural resources. From decarbonization to hydrogen production, technology is increasingly put into practice to save the planet. This report sheds light on how startups and the environmentally responsible companies are adopting such solutions in order to encourage innovation and pace transformation.

What are the market dynamics of cleantech 2.0?

Decarbonization technologies are gaining momentum to cut down CO2 emissions from the use of fossil fuels and develop carbon-negative products. Innovative alternatives such as novel meat proxies, insects, and new protein sources are also gaining popularity. Simultaneously, some companies are producing lab grown dairy products that have the potential to transform the food industry. Moreover, Battery manufacturers are exploring sustainable ingredient alternatives to offer electric vehicle (EV) developers with cleaner sources of energy that could save the planet from the toxic outputs of the conventional internal combustion engines.

Environmentally aware energy producers are considering hydrogen as an effective and efficient energy source and therefore the demand for its production is growing. With a focus on negative carbon emissions, they are formulating innovative gasification technologies to harness hydrogen that could save costs and complexities, while making distributed energy from waste projects possible.

What are the key use cases of cleantech 2.0 to tackle climate change?

Human activities have led to global warming primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels that traps greenhouse gases like CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere. To fight the catastrophic climate change, conscious businesses are developing decarbonization solutions across major CO2 emitting sectors. The key use cases of cleantech 2.0 to fight catastrophic climate change are carbon capture, carbon recycling, carbon trading, climate analytics, green building, green networking, green chemistry, Nat Cat management, net zero carbon, and sustainable transportation.
