Future Cleantech Architects

We are a climate innovation think tank and 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.

We work on breakthrough cleantech, both in hardware and in processes: Our work ranges from fundamental research to process innovations which help to decarbonize emission-intensive industrial operations. Our vision: increase the success rate of breakthrough cleantech R&D.
