We believe that reaching net zero is achievable, but a huge push is necessary to decarbonize our industries and societies. Fostering a liveable planet and achieving net zero will require innovation, technological change, an entrepreneurial mindset, as well as capital providers able to identify and support the right ideas. That is why we created Pelion Green Future. We invest in and support like-minded entrepreneurs, companies and technologies which help tackling the climate crisis at its root cause. For us, this starts with ‘cleaning up’ the energy economy by scaling up existing renewable energy sources while also investing in new technologies that help us generate, store, and use low-carbon electricity globally. Decarbonizing the energy economy means decarbonizing a large share of total emissions. ‘Green energy’ is therefore at the core of our activities. But to drive a large-scale decarbonization, we will need to rethink infrastructure and technological systems more broadly – which is why we also invest in companies focused on different climate technologies that help us achieve net zero. Our purpose Catalyzing decarbonization solutions to foster a liveable planet. We are a long-term investment partner, fostering innovation to accelerate the transition towards a cleaner future. With entrepreneurial spirit at our core, we provide capital, network, and support beyond the obvious – empowering visionaries around the world in building and scaling successful companies that help people and nature thrive. We believe that by working together with our partners, we can contribute to creating a sustainable future for all.
