Dr. Clea Kolster is a partner and Head of Science at Lowercarbon capital. Lowercarbon backs companies that make money slashing CO2 emissions and removing carbon out of the atmosphere. Clea leads the firm’s technical research, development, diligence, and scientific strategy efforts. She’s also a founding fellow of On Deck’s Climate Tech programs.

Last July, On Deck’s climate director Candice Ammori gave us a sense of how climate tech has moved from a 1.0 era to its 2.0 moment on the heels of evolving policy, innovation, and cultural ambition. Today, Dr. Kolster elaborates on the science informing that quickening pace.  She underscores the significance of cheaper renewables, lower battery storage costs, and other trends informing our ability to combat climate change.
