Climate Tech Has Arrived  -  Breakthrough Energy Summit 2024

Climate leaders from around the world convened at the Breakthrough Energy Summit in London to take stock of our climate progress and discuss the work they’re doing to address the most critical challenges of our time.

Over the three-day Summit, our network of scientists, entrepreneurs, technologists, philanthropists, policymakers, and industry leaders highlighted the transformational technologies at the forefront of the clean energy transition — and how BE is accelerating climate solutions at every stage of the innovation pipeline and across the Five Grand Challenges.

But now, we need to keep our momentum going into new frontiers
Read Breakthrough Energy Executive Director Rodi Guidero’s charge to investors

Achieving a net-zero future by 2050 will be the hardest thing humanity has ever done. But it is attainable if we act now, furthering the collaboration needed to achieve net zero. Together, with greater investment and smart policy, we’ll accelerate innovation to ensure a successful clean energy transition.

Energy is Prosperity

Albedo

Company Description

Albedo develops low flying satellites that collect visible and thermal imagery at the highest resolution commercially available. The resulting imagery, which can reveal moisture levels, temperature differences and energy efficiency, has applications for precision agriculture, mapping, insurance, vegetation management, construction, pipeline monitoring, urban planning and defense. Earth observation experts say that classified U.S. government satellites obtain optical imagery with a resolution of about 10 centimeters per pixel. To reach net zero, there needs to be high fidelity visual and thermal data that is available at low cost and high frequency, enabling a host of Earth science focused climate solutions. Albedo is the first company that can provide this data that will enable applications for precision agriculture, forestry management, and wildfire prevention and management. In 2023, Albedo established a manufacturing facility in Denver, CO to build, assemble, integrate, and test the company’s satellites.
