To continue to accelerate the energy transition investment in clean tech companies is essential. We’ve seen more growth in the last 5 years than the last 100 with trillions of dollars flooding the market in the interests of accelerating the path to Net Zero. On today's Interchange, we are joined by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewnordan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Matthew Nordan</a> for an eye-opening conversation. Matthew is the General Partner of <a href="https://twitter.com/AzollaVentures" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Azolla Ventures</a>, a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage tech companies with the potential for gigaton-scale climate impact. Azolla have unique evaluation criteria; gigaton scale climate impact, the principle of additionality and only investing in cases where they can see bullet point level seed milestones.In this episode, we discuss the current investor appetite for green tech investments, how the sector deals with green washing and whether SPACS are still an effective tool.Follow us on Twitter @InterchangeShowThe Interchange is brought to you by JinkoSolar, a leading solar panel manufacturer and energy storage integrator.JinkoSolar now offers energy storage for a variety of residential, C&I, and utility projects.To learn more about Jinko’s EAGLE Storage products visit <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.jinkosolar.us/interchange__;!!CAFLEWIB!StYXwDDrNi_764O-c4vcUq8Y2p2F7vWSfNaqGHU9TTY6LMCAg5vYO5c-zXTv7kkd5x5hEA$" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.jinkosolar.us/interchange</a>.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

Green Tech Investments, Green Washing and SPACS

Clean tech, green finance and energy innovation are the three lanes on the road to a successful global energy transition. At the intersection of these lanes is a place where ideas on finance, technology and policy are shared and debated. That intersection is&nbsp;Interchange Recharged.While Sylvia Leyva Martinez, principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie, is on maternity leave, Bridget van Dorsten, a principal analyst on Wood Mackenzie's hydrogen team, will be hosting this podcast, Interchange Recharged. When Bridget is not researching global market dynamics to craft near and long-term forecasts for low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives she is speaking with visionaries, entrepreneurs, policy-makers and energy analysts to explore the newest developments in renewable technology, explain the ideas on global energy policy that could accelerate the energy transition, and identify new funding and financial models that could solve the biggest challenges we face on the way to net zero.Bridget and her guests bring you data and forecasts on clean technology, climate science, and offer predictions on the build out of utility-scale projects and the future of green finance.What impacts do the annual UN Conference of the Parties have on decarbonisation goals and climate change? What will COP30 bring? What’s happening in global EV adoption and development? What’s the forecast for solar energy, one of the major success stories of renewable energy in the last ten years? What does the data tell us about the future of hydrogen, of nuclear, or of low-carbon power?&nbsp;&nbsp;These are examples of the insights and detailed analyses you can expect bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 7am ET.
