Climate technology must be rapidly deployed soon and on a massive scale to meet ever-more-urgent sustainability goals, but these projects face unique financing challenges.

CREO analyzed dozens of demonstration and commercial scale climate projects, identifying innovative development approaches and key trends across project size, sector, technology scale, government support, and risk mitigation.

This research seeks to answer questions about climate project development, such as “what are the characteristics of climate projects that seek financing?” and “what de-risking steps do developers take to deploy climate technology more rapidly?”
