Looking forward to build on this report as we hunt for #Gigacorns at 2150. #VentureCapital #sustainability #climateaction

Impact is central to what we do at 2150, so it’s exciting to share our results so far. Our companies have: // mitigated or sequestered 277,000 tonnes of CO2 eq / yr // delivered net-positive outcomes by reducing 20.8 t CO2 for each tonne emitted // created 410 jobs in a year

I’m thrilled to share the first 2150 Impact Report! In our first full year of operations our companies delivered immediate, tangible benefits to their sectors with solutions that accelerate decarbonisation and create value. 2150.vc/wp-content/upl…

“The global annual mean temperature in 2021 was around 1.11 ±0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average” @WMO Translation: the climate has changed storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/bbe6a0…

The climate is changing. And it’s not just about changes in temperature. We see changes in the ocean, the atmosphere & the land surface. Many of these trends are unprecedented in human history.

@christianhern I feel seen 😅

Quietly chuckling at meeting behaviours acquired during 2 years of Zoom calls now being replicated in live meetings….(like getting up in the middle of a meeting to get water… except the meeting doesn’t come with you ‘cause you’re not using headphones and it’s a, well, live mtg)

@ssteingraber1 Valuable analysis! Do we need to consider a minimum national standard / policy for carbon storage to prevent a race to the bottom?

As states rush to enact rules for shoving CO2 underground, #fossilfuel companies are rushing to shift liability for the eternal storage and monitoring of their climate-destroying waste to...the public. Meaning, us, our kids. Let's pay attention. #CCS insideclimatenews.org/news/26042022/…

Particularly in the context of spiralling energy prices, this could be one way to get more out of our systems, avoid further exploration, AND address climate change. How can we make this happen? /14

So we have both the means and $$$ incentives to tackle this source of GHG emissions now, and with urgency. Our energy systems would be cleaner and more productive for it. /13

Global methane concentrations are at their highest recorded levels. This GHG is ~28x as potent at CO2. More worrying is the pace of increase. 🧵/1
