Breakthrough Energy

Energy powers prosperity. The innovation pipeline is stronger than ever. As founders, investors, and partners gather in Houston for the BEV Investor Summit, we’ll focus on what it takes to scale companies that can deliver affordable, reliable, clean energy across the world’s largest industries.

Better storage changes what the grid can do. @FormEnergyInc CEO @mateojaramill discusses what it takes to manufacture long-duration batteries at scale. bth-energy.com/3SVJJAn

Fusion plants need to make their own fuel. @CFS_energy will be the first to use @UKAEAofficial's new LIBRTI facility to test net tritium production—a key step toward ARC power plants that can produce enough fuel to keep running. bth-energy.com/4wEUupr

On the #ColumbiaEnergyExchange podcast Alice Yake, head of our GRIDS program, discusses what it takes to plan a cleaner, more reliable grid as demand rises, infrastructure ages, and AI reshapes the power system. bth-energy.com/3SNFE1a

Pivot Pathways is a new initiative from Breakthrough-backed @pivotbio to invest in farm families, rural communities, and the next generation of American agriculture. Farmers build in decades. This is one way Pivot Bio is helping that next generation carry the work forward. bth-energy.com/4aHFfDu

With a new €42M+ Series B, H2SITE is moving validated hydrogen technology into industrial deployment. 50,000+ operating hours, European manufacturing capacity, and production/separation solutions built for markets that need secure, competitive energy. bth-energy.com/4wyZVpS

A new MOU between @BrimstoneEnergy and Century Aluminum advances a US “mine-to-metal” aluminum supply chain. Domestic rock to domestic alumina—strengthening supply for the industries America needs to grow. bth-energy.com/3R2aFh7

As the U.S. turns 250, our Chief Investment Officer Carmichael Roberts reflects on America’s builder tradition—and why the country’s next chapter will be shaped by builders turning hard technologies into stronger systems. bth-energy.com/4w1o7Br

Southeast Asia has a major opportunity to build the next generation of cooling. Jane Zhang, head of our Breakthrough Energy Fellows–SEA program with @Temasek and Enterprise Singapore shares why investors are watching solutions that lower energy use, improve resilience, and scale from local deployment to regional markets. bth-energy.com/4vJKM52

With EGS-Twin, @fervoenergy, @nvidia, and @PNNLab are bringing digital twins to geothermal—helping geothermal operators read the reservoir faster and turn field data into more reliable firm power. bth-energy.com/4oTE3Tf

Data centers are racing for power. Planted Solar is building solar on that clock. Software-designed sites, robotic installation, and faster deployment on less land—42 MW installed in six months, with a 20+ GW pipeline ahead. bth-energy.com/4axmwum

Fusion is one of the biggest opportunities in energy. Proud to back teams working across different approaches to bring it closer to reality: @CFS_energy, @Energy_Zap, @typeoneenergy, and Xcimer Energy.

At Sustainable Aviation Futures Congress, BE's Max Sabbe discussed how the Oneworld BEV Fund with @traveloneworld can help scale next-generation cost-competitive SAF that answers the needs of today’s aviation industry.

A new @RedwoodMat and @GM partnership is putting repurposed EV batteries to work at a Michigan manufacturing plant. ~100 GM packs. 1.5 MW / 7.2 MWh of dispatchable energy. Expected savings of more than $3M over the installation’s lifetime. bth-energy.com/4xO93bl

Before @fervoenergy was public, @TimMLatimer was asking a sharp question: could oil and gas drilling unlock geothermal at scale? Congratulations to Tim on being named a @FastCompany 2026 Visionary of the Year. bth-energy.com/4w4XUBl

Concrete chemistry, caught in the act. @CarbonCure + @MIT's Masic Lab captured how CO2 changes cement as it sets—new validation for lower-carbon concrete already used across millions of loads. bth-energy.com/4oJMhxj

Our Contrails.org program just launched ContrailBench, a new tool that compares forecasts against real-world observations—helping airlines find the sweet spot between contrail mitigation and operational cost. bth-energy.com/4b5OKMO

The physical economy is getting rebuilt company by company. @TIME's World's Top GreenTech Companies of 2026 features BE portfolio companies working across power, food, materials, buildings, aviation, storage, hydrogen, and fusion. @fervoenergy, @pivotbio, @TerabaseEnergy, @Lilac_Solutions, @Energy_Zap, @FormEnergyInc, @mill, @Electric_H2, @CFS_energy, @ESS_info, Nature’s Fynd, @Aeroseal_llc, Equilibrium Energy, Planted Solar, @RedwoodMat, and @ZeroAvia. bth-energy.com/3QdNtMM

We are launching Weston Breakthrough Fellows in partnership with @WittingtonVC to help early-stage climate technologies become venture-scale companies. Starting in agriculture, the initiative is designed to turn groundbreaking Canadian research into great companies. bth-energy.com/3Qqd0SU Register your interest➡️bth-energy.com/44gyPaG

BE-backed @xcimerenergy powered on its Phoenix system to test high-energy excimer lasers—a step toward its inertial fusion power plant architecture. bth-energy.com/4etRXH4
