In 2022, climate tech saw a huge year over year increase in venture capital with more than 70 billion invested from January to December. And then it's actually held steady at about 20 or 30% of the total venture investment over the last several years. This is a market that has maintained the amount of capital flow to early stage companies in 2022, as it did in 2021.
2022 was a banner year for climate – both in terms of climate-fueled disaster and historic federal investments in clean energy, electric vehicles and home electrification. The questions now: How will the programs be implemented ? How will the money be spent – and who will benefit? This week, we examine the coming trends in raw material prices, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, new investments in clean tech, tighter rules on pollution and western water negotiations.
