Tracking a new era of climate solutions: Cleantech growth across the U.S.

BY: AMY HARDER

Check out Cipher's new Cleantech Tracker.

The United States is at the dawn of a technology boom to tackle climate change, fueled by historic laws, increased money from both public and private funders and a heightened sense of urgency as we face more extreme weather exacerbated by a warming world.

Cipher’s Cleantech Tracker map and accompanying investment chart show the progress of select emerging technologies: carbon management, clean hydrogen production, hydrogen electrolyzer manufacturing and sustainable aviation fuel.

These tech types are critical parts of a broader puzzle of technologies, ranging from wind and solar farms to carbon dioxide pipelines to electric vehicle manufacturing. Cipher is intentionally focused on technologies that receive less attention from the media and investors and on sectors that are harder to clean up compared to others, though our tracker and focus will evolve with time. Learn more about the technologies we’re initially including in the Tracker?here.

The Cleantech Tracker map is a window into the transformative technological landscape, illustrating where innovations are taking root. We’ll be doing in-depth reporting on the potential impacts they can have on local economies and in the global fight against climate change.

Cipher updates the data as it becomes available as technologies move through the development pipeline, so be sure to check back to see the latest trends. Over time, we also plan to layer in other technologies.

We largely cull and analyze data from the?Clean Investment Monitor, a database by research firm Rhodium Group and Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research.?Click here?for our comprehensive methodology.

This is just the beginning of what we anticipate being a continuing project! What additional information should we add to our tracker? See something that should be updated?
