- 1. Conserving Now, Preserving Future WWF Climate & Energy Innovation WWF Climate & Energy Innovation Stefan Henningsson 27 Nov 2017
- 2. WWF Climate & Energy Innovation Established strands 1. Honouring Climate & Energy Access Innovations in India, China, South Africa and Nordics 2. Create Climate Positive Value from Innovation at Portfolio level 3. Strengthen Country Ecosystem Profiles to maximise positive impact Emerging strands 4. Co-Create a Global Cross-Border Accelerator Community 5. Market creation opportunities www.climatesolver.org @ClimateSolver
- 3. 1. Honouring Climate & Energy Access Innovations, China www.climatesolver.org Ex: High yield biobased aviation fuel by Tianjin Castor Energy, China If it can replace 7.5% of global traditional aviation fuel by 2026, this innovation could avoid 47 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually
- 4. 1. Honouring Climate & Energy Access Innovations, South Africa www.climatesolver.org Ex: Small scale, flexible, scalable, concentrated solar power by Heliolab, South Africa If technologies like Helio can supply only 0.07% of the electricity demand by 2026, we will avoid more than 22 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually
- 5. 1. Honouring Climate & Energy Access Innovations, Nordics Ex: Harnessing Big Data to drive insurance and transport efficiency by Greater Than, Sweden If this kind of innovation penetrate 30% percent of the cars in their target market by the year 2027, we could avoid 103 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually www.climatesolver.org
- 6. 1. Honouring Climate & Energy Access Innovations, Global www.sustainia.me Ex: Low Cost Batteries from Abundant Resources by Faradion, UK
- 7. 2. Create Climate Positive Value from Innovation at Portfolio level Ex: Swedish Energy Agency Cleantech Innovation Investment Portfolio www.climatesolvertool.org PotentialAvoidedEmissions
- 8. 3. Strengthen Country Ecosystem Profiles to maximise positive impact Country Profiles Global Trends
- 9. 4. Co-Create a Global Cross-Border Accelerator Community Co-creating 1st global best practice guide on good cleantech innovation acceleration for more impact!

Editor's Notes
- When we visualize a low carbon future it’s important to remember that we’re not referring to incremental change or business as usual with a bit of a twist. No, what we’re talking about is truly TRANSFORMATIONAL change and the need to steer in a radically new direction. WWF is developing a climate innovations portal that will profile climate entrepreneurs, like Parans, with the potential to contribute to this tranformative change. We will profile companies and highlight success stories as well as hinders. The portal will demonstrate for policy makers across the globe that solutions do indeed exist. However, without the support of a proactive government and large companies with a global view, those solutions will remain best-kept secrets rather than becoming the potenial climate solvers that they are. Together with our project group Global Focus, WWF recently identified 12 Swedish Climate Entrepreneurs whose sustainabnle energy technologies have the potential to reduce emissions of CO2 by up to 10 times Sweden’s annual national emissions. These companies are at various stages of development – one is already listed on the stockmarket, another with a revolutionary idea that could replace the internal combustion engine, hasn’t been able to raise the funds needed to finance a prototype, although experts agree that the technology is completely sound. To see the other 11 Climate Entrepreneurs, visit www.climatesolver.org. Or visit our exhibit just outside and meet representatives from several of these companies. As I said, the companies may vary greatly in stages of development, but what they have in common is that the technologies are sustainable on a global level and that they show potential on a global mass market as opposed to simply a regional market. Our goal at WWF is to raise awareness for the challenges these companies face and to help eliminate them. One very clear hinder is the lack of investment capital at the early stages of development. The period between R&D and when the company has secured its first order and the Venture Capitalist go in is called The Valley of Death. The Valley of Death clearly needs to be irradicated for transformational solutions and it is essential to involve all relevant actors in this mission. Governments can play a key role here by ensuring adequate investments in these early stages. In Sweden, for example, only 2% of Sweden’s total public investments in R&D occur during this phase. We estimate that approx 7-10X this amount is necessary to facilitate the commercialization of these technologies. We intend too, to enlist the support of larger businesses in this mission. We will use our contacts with many of the world’s leading companies who, as potential customers, have the reach, the finanial means, and market influence to help develop and implement these kind of technologies all over the world. We cooperate with multi-national companies who recognize that it makes business sense to exceed compliance and position themselves as winners in the low-carbon future. Companies that see business opportunities where others see problems will be the true winners. Winners in the low carbon future see potential markets for ICT where high-quality video conferencing will replace expensive, time-consuming and unsustainable air travel. Or where IT can be used to regulate and improve the efficiency of heating/cooling systems in buildings. Why this focus on climate innovation and entrepreneurs, you might ask. Has WWF suddenly changed their mission and decided to become business development consultants? Certainly not. We have chosen this focus because we’re convinced that one way of preventing the global temperature from rising above the 2 degree limit set out by IPCC is by supporting the development, commercialization and export of these technologies for widespread use around the world.
