Tehtiin uusi sijoitus! Jos tunnet mut, niin tiedät miten haistelen asioita. 😃 Ja nyt on kova juttu! EvodiaBio pystyy tuottamaan kasvien aromeita resurssiviisaasti hiivoissa. Ja koska ei tarvitse uuttaa aromeita humalasta, niin alkoholiton IPAkin saadaan vihdoin maistumaan!
We made a new investment to EvodiaBio! The team has created neat technology to produce aroma (mono-terpenes) in yeast. That means you can skip the hops and brew the aroma. And save a ton of land and water in the process. The future will taste great!

We are in the midst of an incredible clean energy transformation
>EVs up from 0 to 17m in 1 decade, will reach 230m to 500m by 2030
>solar up from 72 to 854GW in 1 decade, will be 8,000GW by 2030
And check out heat pumps, green hydrogen and wind!
Climate action, in action

The media keeps saying “energy prices are going up” when really it’s just “fossil fuel” prices. Renewables are getting cheaper every day.

Thanks for hosting us @SakkeRantala, @PutaansuuJenni and @KemijokiOy!
A group of @WecFinland Future Energy Leaders (FEL) visited @KemijokiOy #hydropower plant Kurkiaska. The refurbishment is carried out by @Andritz and VEO. For many, this marked the first visit to a hydropower plant and we got the opportunity to see the "heart" of it.

“A startup’s first hires are similarly key in whether a startup makes it — or fails. So to truly help companies scale, VCs need to put more focus on supporting early hires.”

The world’s largest coal plant is being turned into a huge #solar farm. It's time we all made the switch to #renewables
We have the solutions to the #climatecrisis. Let's shift the subsidies & implement them. #ActOnClimate

What is your #CVC strategy? Invest in close to the core or far ahead?
I agree with this one: "Feeding the current business [..] might be juicy, but you don’t need a huge ladder (i.e. a CVC fund) to grasp it."
➡ The far ahead model adds real value.

🗨️ "Each ton of emissions represents someone else's business which means someone else is fighting to keep those emissions alive. There will be winners and losers, but if we do our part really well as founders, policymakers, activists, and investors, we will win." - @rypan

Capitalism can be a force for good when used for rapid growth. The carbon removal impact we achieve goes hand in hand with our bottom line, and both are in a hurry. 🌍
