🔍 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬: 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡? In our latest survey, 88% of you believe the global shift to sustainable energy is lagging. This aligns with global sentiment, as 85% of people worldwide are calling for a faster transition. 🔋🌿 There are a lot of socio-economical and political challenges that slow down the progress of transition to sustainable energy. The recent geopolitical events such as war in Ukraine are causing some nations to revert to fossil fuels, compromising decarbonization efforts. 📈The rising interest rates and economic uncertainties are complicating financing, which risks making renewable energy less competitive compared to fossil fuels. What is more, the transition requires a lot of annual investment — three times the current levels which equals to approximately $3 trillion. 😮 Despite the challenges, the transition to sustainable energy is gaining momentum globally. Innovations in technology, increasing public awareness, and growing international cooperation are paving the way for a cleaner, more equitable future. With continued effort and collaboration, we can accelerate the shift towards renewable energy, ensuring a sustainable world for future generations. ☺️🙌🌱 At ProtiumTech, we believe that even though the journey towards the future of sustainable energy may be challenging, but the benefits for our planet and society are absolutely enourmous. 💛🌎 #ProtiumTech #SustainableEnergy #EnergyTransition #Greentech #Deeptech

🚀 Exciting News for the Hydrogen Industry! 🚀 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced up to $2.2 billion in awards for two Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) as part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda. This significant investment aims to accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of low-cost, clean hydrogen, a crucial step towards a sustainable energy future. Key Highlights: Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub (HyVelocity Hub): Located in Texas, this hub will leverage the region’s abundant renewable energy and natural gas supply to produce clean hydrogen through electrolysis and natural gas with carbon capture. Expected to create approximately 45,000 direct jobs over the project’s lifetime. Midwest Hydrogen Hub (MachH2): Spanning Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan, this hub will utilize diverse energy sources to support decarbonization in various industries, creating around 12,000 direct jobs. Implications for Houston, TX: Economic Growth: The Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub will drive significant economic opportunities in Houston, creating thousands of high-quality jobs and attracting private sector investments. Energy Leadership: Houston, already a leader in the energy sector, will further solidify its position as a hub for clean energy innovation and hydrogen production. Environmental Impact: By reducing emissions from energy-intensive sectors, this initiative will contribute to Houston’s efforts to combat climate change and improve air quality. This transformative investment underscores the DOE’s commitment to strengthening America’s energy security, boosting economic competitiveness, and tackling the climate crisis. Exciting times ahead for the hydrogen market in Houston! 🌍💼🔋 #CleanEnergy #Hydrogen #Sustainability #Houston #DOE #InvestingInAmerica

🌍 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬?   The energy sector is at the core of decarbonization, responsible for around 70% of global CO₂ emissions across electricity, fuel, and heating.    Securing our energy future will take more than incremental change - we need bold ideas, transformative innovation, and increased investment in disruptive solutions.   From optimizing power grids and monitoring systems to advancing climate-smart agriculture and sustainable transport, digital technology is key to transforming global energy systems. The surge in energy-focused start-ups is a hopeful sign. In 2023, nearly 27% of all venture capital for European tech start-ups went to energy innovations - more than double the share in 2021.   But for start-ups to reach their potential, they need more than funding. They need trust, strategic support, and an environment that fosters growth.    At Vireo Ventures, we are committed to finding and funding those who can truly drive change in the energy sector, working toward a system that meets climate goals and strengthens Europe’s energy resilience. Companies like encentive GmbH, Next Kraftwerke, and suena are building blocks for a resilient, future-ready energy infrastructure.    It was a pleasure to discuss the critical role of start-up innovation in future-proofing our energy systems with Rouben Bathke from energate. Thanks for having me! Full article in the comments.   #EnergyTech #ClimateInnovation #EnergyTransition #VC
