Hopeful #30. Manure into a sustainable protein source? The protein-packed lemna, a fast-growing aquatic plant, can utilise manure as feedstock, and the lemna can then be used as feed for cows, providing an alternative to soy. Wonderfully circular by FYTO.

Hopeful #31. Optimising energy usage with AI. 30-40 % of global CO2 emissions come from buildings, and Myrspoven exist to lower that. They save on average 20% of energy per building (incl. peak times) by autonomously optimising HVAC systems #ai #sustainability #realestate

Hopeful #32. 500m euros to accelerate hydrogen technologies as clean energy. @sunfire_dresden's electrolysis technology enables the transformation of carbon-intensive industries that are currently dependent on fossil-based oil, gas, or coal. And they're growing fast! #Renewables

Hopeful #33. Improving sustainability is leading to significantly increased business value. Based on @ibm survey of 5,000 execs, orgs can significantly increase business value by embedding sustainability throughout the business, rather than as an add-on. ibm.com/thought-leader…

Hopeful #34. Reducing environmental damage of fertilisers. The trad Haber-Bosch process for ammonia generates two tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of ammonia. Jupiter Ionics electrolytic cells make green ammonia using renewable energy and enabling it's use locally. #food

Hopeful #35. Humble, faith-filled leadership. Dan Walker has presented many incredible sport moments (soon to include an Eng euros win this year?? 🙄), and today it was a privilege to be in the room where he was presenting his faith and others' stories. Thanks Dan 👏

Hopeful #36. Pensions investing in nature. South Yorkshire Pension Authority acquired £260m of farmland with Royal London, aiming to enhance the environmental value of the farmland whilst securing it’s growth potential. room151.co.uk/151-news/south… #farming #investing #pension

Hopeful #37. Transparency in what we buy. TrusTrace works with leading brands like adidas and ASICS Europe, now tracking over 1 billion(!) products on its platform. Ensuring complex supply chains are understood and traced to then improve sustainability. #fashion #Clothing

Hopeful #38. Agricultural waste into car seats?! Spiber raised $65m to scale their eco materials made from fermented Brewed Protein. They are bio-based and biodegradable. Working with The North Face PANGAIA and even in a ToyotaUK #sustainable #fashion #cars

Hopeful #39. Reducing plastic AND food waste. Saveggy has developed an edible coating that can be applied to fresh fruit and vegetables to extend their shelf life, eliminating the need for plastic sleeves and packaging. #foodforthought #foodie #sustainable #venturecapital

Hopeful #40. Beef grown from cow cells. Meat takes up 80% of all agri land, and contributes to around a fifth of all human-produced GHG. Cultivated meat org Mosa Meat raised €40m, to pioneer a cleaner, kinder way of making beef. Lowercarbon Capital #food #burgers #sustainable

Hopeful #41. Crop inputs are a key innovation on the rise per Cleantech Group Innovation is meeting the dual need to increase yield to feed a growing population off a reduced stock of productive land, and do this while reducing emissions and building resilience. #sustainable

Hopeful #42. Increase food production to meet population growth, in environ friendly way. Glaia is a venture that through natural materials improves photosynthesis in plants, improving their ability to convert sunlight into biomass. So, more food and better for our soils.

Hopeful #43. Palm oil from potato peels, not palm trees? NoPalm Ingredients has developed a yeast-based fermentation technique that produces cost-competitive oils from food waste. Reducing land use by 99% and carbon emissions by 90%. #sustainable #StartupSuccess #PalmOil

Hopeful #44. Removing carbon by turning it into rock. Reactive rocks naturally mineralise CO2. This can lock carbon away permanently from the atmosphere. 44.01 have accelerated this natural process to mitigate climate change. And they’ve just raised $37m to scale it.

Hopeful #46. The 2X Challenge has raised gender-lens investments totaling $33.6 billion. The 2X Challenge is a movement launched at the G7 Summit in 2018 to get more private sector investments in women led/owned SMEs in developing countries. They're now going again!

Hopeful #47. Measuring net impact (finally!) The Upright Project assessing positive impact of companies minus negative impacts, using data. If looking to invest in, work with, or purchase from a company - it may be worth a look at this first.

Capturing AI and going green - a paradox? ABB, Siemens, Schneider have flown this week (ABB +11%) due to fast growing revenue lines - data centres. They're in for me to push the green energy transition. It's a tension. Data centres already 2-3% of global electricity consumption
