Breakthrough Energy Catalyst

Breakthrough Energy Catalyst is a public-private platform that funds and invests in first-of-a-kind commercial-scale and large demonstration projects for emerging climate technologies. It uses a blended finance model, including grants, equity, and other financial instruments, to accelerate the adoption of these technologies and reduce their 'Green Premium'. The program focuses on five key areas: clean hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, direct air capture, long-duration energy storage, and the decarbonization of manufacturing (cement, steel, etc.).
