We’ll be on the ground tomorrow at InnoEnergy's Business Booster, where we’re hosting a breakfast alongside Elewit, EDP Ventures, and Santander. Request to join for coffee, bites, and networking with climate-focused investors, founders, and ecosystem partners. ⬇️ https://luma.com/9tleu8kb

The Transaera, Inc. team was a part of a historic moment this month, as the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Transaera was an early adopter of MOFs. The company’s co-founder and chemist, Mircea Dincă, advanced the research field of MOFs and is commercializing the frameworks. Now, the team is leveraging these materials to reduce the energy consumption of ACs in the built environment. 𖣘🌆 Congrats to the Nobel winners and to the Transaera team for its commercialization of MOFs to advance energy efficiency.

What a week at #NYCW! 🌎✨ Our team was spread out across the city hosting our working session with Penn Engineering and Bank of America, attending events, cocktail hours, and even carving out time for impact-inspired jogs.🏃🏻♀️ Most importantly, we were able to connect with innovators in the space and share our insights at events with For ClimateTech, Greenly | Certified B Corp, and more on how we can continue to invest and scale transformative technologies. We had an incredible time catching up with our partners, portfolio teams, and leaders who share our passion for advancing tangible impact solutions. See you next year! #NYCW2026

The key to unlocking decarbonization in the aviation fuel market is affordability. As a return investor in SAF developer OXCCU TECH LTD, we’re proud to support the company’s steps toward commercializing its novel technology to convert waste carbon and hydrogen into jet fuel at low cost. Congrats to Andrew Symes on the raise, and to your team’s incredible progress in accelerating the technology from lab to commercial demonstration. More on what OXCCU’s next milestones mean for widespread SAF production👇

No single group can unlock climate tech deployment alone – the path to scaling transformative technologies requires the entire ecosystem: investors, insurers, underwriters, project developers, and innovators working together. Last week, we convened 70+ leaders across the climate tech ecosystem to tackle one of the greatest hurdles to commercialization – gaps in risk transfer and insurability. In collaboration with Penn Engineering and industry experts, our team has spent the past several months conducting a multi-phase research initiative on performance and technology risk solutions. At this working session, we shared findings, examined startup case studies, and engaged in breakout discussions to evaluate and advance tangible solutions. Thank you to Bank of America for hosting us, our presenters, panelists and discussion group leaders – Chris Creed, Supratim Das, Glenn O'Halloran, Elise Zoli, Tad Dritz, Genevieve Rose Sherman, Jeff McAulay, Emily Lewis O'Brien, Richard Riley, and Louis Schick – for sharing their expertise. And a big thank you to all participants for contributing to such a dynamic and action-oriented dialogue. We left energized by the partnerships and pathways emerging from this work.

On the eve of my first event at New York Climate Week, (birding, for what it's worth, hooray Central Park), it gives me great pleasure to post about my new byline for Battery Technology. In the article, I explore why scalable innovation means focusing on compatibility, cost, and manufacturability, and how incremental improvements can unlock outsized impact. Too often, battery innovation gets stuck in the lab. Real progress happens when new ideas can be integrated into today’s manufacturing lines, not years down the road. If there's any message to take with me to Climate Week, it's that we need to put technology to work, today! At Volexion, we're ready to make batteries better, and scale our solution. Let's go!
