As part of the Paris Agreement 194 countries have the shared responsibility of limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius (preferably to 1.5). To achieve this, emissions must be reduced to net zero by 2050. The World Bank placed 2019’s global emissions at 34,300 MMtCO2 (million metric tons of carbon dioxide) – setting the most up to date target for technology to counterbalance emissions to zero. 44,000+ climate tech firms globally are contributing to achieving net zero emissions in a range of innovative and impactful ways. Amongst these CRANE, Prime Coalition, and Rho Impact have identified 191 different technologies and calculated their individual emission reduction potential. On the assumption that even a fraction of these technologies reach their full potential and completely penetrate their target markets, the combined annual emissions reduction potential of the winning solutions appears likely to surpass 2019 emissions levels. Emissions will continue to grow beyond 2019 levels. Regardless of this, the
