Capital &
Acceleration

Funding and scaling the next generation of climate solutions
Early‑stage climate ventures and non‑profits are developing the technologies and community solutions needed for a net‑zero, climate‑resilient economy, yet they often struggle to access patient capital, commercial expertise and reliable demand signals. At the same time, commercial and philanthropic investors are reluctant to just back a promising technology — instead they are looking for credible, de‑risked business models that can deliver both financial returns and real‑world climate impact.
Our Capital & Acceleration solution suite focuses on bridging this execution gap: we do not develop or validate the underlying technology, but accelerate its success by strengthening investment readiness, structuring innovative finance and building demand through offtakes and partnerships — so promising solutions can reach the market faster, and investors can deploy capital with confidence.

We deliver impact by

  • Getting high‑potential climate ventures investment‑ready so they can raise capital and scale faster
  • Improving bankability of early‑stage ventures and projects through structures that blend grants, concessional and commercial capital with carbon and certificate revenues
  • Giving investors better risk‑adjusted return and impact profiles through curated, “diligenced” opportunities and active portfolio support
  • Creating clearer demand signals via offtakes and simple commercial pathways that increase confidence in future revenues
  • Strengthening the wider climate innovation ecosystem by connecting ventures, investors, corporates and non‑profits in focused, solution‑oriented programmes

Strengthen governance and core processes (reporting, basic controls, board structures) to meet typical investor expectations
Market Instruments & Revenue Stacking (carbon credits, EACs and others)
Assess whether and how projects can generate additional revenues from carbon credits, Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) and other environmental market instruments
Help design crediting baselines, monitoring approaches and commercial structures in line with relevant standards and buyer expectations
