How do we make climate tech, and new hardtech platforms in particular, more profitable?

Join Alex Cameron, Founder of Decarb Connect and Anne Lyck Smitshuysen, partner in DynElectro for a discussion about how scaling climate tech can make new hardware platforms cost effective and profitable, even in early stages. Anne is a fuel cell specialist and a member of the Forbes 2023 30 under 30 list – she holds a Masters in Physics and Nanotechnology and is focused on bringing unique Power-to-X technologies to market which produce carbon-neutral green fuels.

So much to check out in this conversation, including: 

•                    How do we change and challenge the perception that climate tech can’t be economical of profitable

•                    What does Anne’s experience of the funding a start up tell us about how to prove to investors that  new tech risk is being managed effectively and that early scale developments will be delivered on time?

•                    What is the market for the green fuels created by their Power-to-X platform?

•                    Hydrogen is a market that already sees high demand, synthetic fuels will add to this demand so what does this mean for price, risk and opportunity?

•                    How does DynElectro compete in the electrolyzer market – specifically, what is it about the tech that allows them to make green fuels competitively?

•                    What are the projects and partnerships have they formed (both with investors like Yara Growth Ventures and other stakeholders)
