This week, our CBDO and co-founder, Dr. Oleg Demidov, joined the global leaders at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, and it was an incredible opportunity to join discussions about the future of our planet and the pivotal role of space technologies in climate action. Dr. Demidov shared some inspiring insights from the forum, which underscored the critical link between space innovation and sustainability: ?? Space solutions for climate challenges: Satellites equipped with cutting-edge sensors are now pivotal for monitoring wildfires, greenhouse gas emissions, and deforestation in real time. These tools provide essential data to policymakers, enabling rapid and informed decision-making. ?? Sustainability and space innovation: As we expand our activities in orbit, the issue of space debris demands innovative solutions and international collaboration. This aligns closely with COSolve' mission to develop sustainable and impactful space-based technologies. ?? The integration of space into global climate action is more critical than ever. From enabling precision environmental monitoring to providing connectivity in remote areas for green initiatives, space is no longer just the next frontier—it’s part of the solution. We are proud of Dr. Demidov's participation at WEF and inspired by the level of collaboration and vision for a sustainable future. ? #WEF2025 #ClimateAction #SpaceForEarth #Sustainability #Davos2025

“Climate romanticism will be replaced by climate pragmatism” As 2025 begins, industry leaders such as Romain Diaz, FOUNDER & CEO AT SATGANA, Andrew Beebe, MANAGING DIRECTOR AT OBVIOUS VENTURES, Tim Weiss, CO-FOUNDER & CEO OF OPTERA, outline key trends shaping the future of climate action: 1?? Shift to Pragmatism: Resilience takes center stage as businesses and governments move from idealistic sustainability to practical climate strategies. 2?? Renewables Overtaking Fossil Fuels: Clean energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal are set to dominate baseload capacity, accelerated by advancements in nuclear fusion and global investments. 3?? Battery Breakthroughs: Innovations in solid-state and synthetic silicon batteries promise greater energy storage efficiency, transforming energy systems. 4?? Carbon Removal on the Rise: Scaling technologies like direct air capture aim to meet climate targets, with increased investment driving progress. 5?? Agricultural Revolution: Precision farming, renewable-powered machinery, and lab-grown foods are reducing emissions and enhancing food security. 6?? AI Optimizing Efficiency: Machine learning enhances risk analysis, energy efficiency, and the resilience of renewable systems. ?? These trends highlight a transformative year ahead, blending pragmatism, innovation, and investment to accelerate climate solutions. Climate tech is a mega trend and peaks and troughs are to be expected and one could argue now is a good time to invest.

We’re amazed of HyWatts, their groundbreaking Powerplant-in-a-Box technology, and their visionary founder and CEO, Alex Ivanenko. This US-based startup is reshaping renewable energy with its reversible high-temperature proton exchange membrane (HTPEM) fuel cell—an innovation that ensures energy supply anytime, anywhere: https://lnkd.in/gA9-zQGF Why HyWatts Stands Out: ? Dual Functionality: Their HTPEM system not only generates electricity from hydrogen but also doubles as an electrolyzer, producing hydrogen from electricity. ?? Perfect for Remote Locations: Designed to deliver renewable energy without requiring network infrastructure upgrades, making it ideal for off-grid areas. ?? Advanced Technology: Operates at higher temperatures (120-180°C) compared to traditional systems, eliminating the need for complex humidification and reagent recirculation. ?? Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: - Patented stainless-steel bipolar plate technology reduces costs using stamping and galvanic coating methods. - Provides power for microgrids at $0.12/kWh and hydrogen for industrial use at $2.38/kg. Practical Impact: 1 kg of hydrogen can power a US household for an entire day. Curious about HyWatts and the opportunities this innovation opens up? Reach out to us—we’d love to share more about this incredible company and its promising future. ?? #HyWatts #RenewableEnergy #FuelCells #HydrogenTech #BeyondEarthTechnologies
