contribution climate tech companies must play to help the planet reach net zero emissions is undeniable. Climate technology impact index Energy oriented climate technologies have the greatest potential impact on carbon emissions reduction by 2050 Looking at the cumulative emission reduction potential of the top 4 technologies (from 6 climate tech areas of focus), 2 technologies stand out above the rest. The first is CO2-based enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), which has the capacity to significantly reduce emissions. This technology injects supercritical CO2 (CO2 at such a low temperature it is a fluid) into a man-made reservoir in hot rock It then evaporates, and the pressure of the gas is used to drive a steam turbine and generate electricity. Some CO2 would remain underground to maintain the human-made reservoir. Scientists estimate that 0.1% of the heat potential of earth could supply humanity’s energy needs for 2 millions years. The issue has historically been
