What an incredible first day at #BESummit24 – inspiring to see so many innovators coming together to develop solutions to one of the hardest challenges humanity has ever faced. Here are a few of our favorite moments from today: - To kick off the Summit we heard from Breakthrough Executive Director Rodi Guidero laying the groundwork for the clean industrial revolution, the steps we need to take to achieve a net-zero future, and the technologies that can bring about change at a global scale. - Eric Toone provided an insightful retrospective on energy consumption and an optimistic lookahead for how we can harness natural resources and emergent technologies to arrive at a net-zero future. - One of the next frontiers will be integrating AI into the clean energy revolution. It has the power to make utilities more efficient and help mining companies identify mineral rich deposits: “AI holds tremendous promise for the energy transition. It can actually help us turn the unimaginable into a possibility.” - Melanie Nakagawa, Microsoft Chief Sustainability Officer - Rajeev Ram, Partner at Breakthrough Energy, has unveiled the new Grid Modeling Project aimed at modernizing power grids. This open source platform will revolutionize grid planning, forecasting, and the integration of clean energy. “What we’re announcing today is an ambitious project to create an open-source platform to allow anyone, anywhere in the world to develop a plan for how to decarbonize electricity”. To close out the day we took a deep dive into our unique approach of discovery, development, and deployment. With this multifaceted approach we can identify nascent technologies and help spur widespread adoption of clean tech. Looking forward to another inspiring day tomorrow.

Breakthrough Energy Summit is right around the corner. As we head down the urgent path towards a net-zero future, Summit will serve as a convergence point for visionaries and innovators across the globe to learn and collaborate. At the heart of our mission is the belief that the right people, armed with the right platform, can drive transformative change in the realm of clean, reliable, and affordable energy. As we gather at #BESummit24, our growing network of industry and policy experts, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders will explore innovative solutions and identify actionable steps to drive climate action.

Last month, the Breakthrough Energy Fellows convened in Dallas, Texas for a retreat designed to foster collaboration, enhance leadership skills, and expand networks. The event included sector talks, an investor pitch session, and a fireside chat with Breakthrough Energy CTO, Eric Toone. Gregory Houchins from Chement and David Jaramillo from Verne — both alumni from BE Fellows Cohort 1 — shared their experiences and insights, setting the tone for the gathering.
