We believe that tackling the climate crisis requires a sector-focused approach, addressing emissions at their source. To ensure our efforts align with real-world impact, we have prioritized five sectors identified by Project Drawdown as having the highest potential for GHG emissions reduction.
Energy
The shift to renewable energy sources, grid modernization, and improved energy storage solutions could reduce emissions by up to 420.60 GT.

Energy: How Do We Plug In?
This sector represents one of the largest opportunities for GHG reduction. The shift to renewable energy sources, grid modernization, and improved energy storage solutions could reduce emissions by up to 420.60 GT. Startups focusing on grid modernization, energy storage, and decentralized energy solutions are making an impact in transforming how we generate, distribute, and consume electricity.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
This sector holds the potential to mitigate between 226.50 and 312.00 GT of emissions.

Food, Agriculture, and Land Use: How Do We Eat and Grow Things?
This sector holds the potential to mitigate between 226.50 and 312.00 GT of emissions. The challenges lie in addressing deforestation, improving soil health, and reducing food waste. Startups promoting regenerative agriculture, plant-based alternatives, and efficient land management practices can play a critical role in transforming food systems and restoring ecosystems.
Transportation
Emissions could be reduced by up to 144.30 GT through the adoption of electric vehicles, improved public transit systems, and sustainable logistics.

Transportation: How Do We Move Around?
Emissions could be reduced by up to 144.30 GT through the adoption of electric vehicles, improved public transit systems, and sustainable logistics. Key challenges include battery technology, charging infrastructure, and transitioning fleets. Startups innovating in mobility solutions, hydrogen fuel cells, and sustainable aviation can accelerate the sector’s decarbonization.
Buildings
Contribute heavily to emissions through energy consumption and construction practices, with potential reductions of up to 88.40 GT.

Buildings: How We Live and Adapt?
Contribute heavily to emissions through energy consumption and construction practices, with potential reductions of up to 88.40 GT. The challenge is transitioning to energy-efficient buildings and sustainable materials while retrofitting existing infrastructure. Startups working on smart building technologies, insulation, and low-carbon materials can drive decarbonization in this sector.
Industry
Industrial processes account for a significant portion of global emissions, with a potential reduction of up to 166.00 GT.

Industry: How Do We Build and “Circulate Things”?
Industrial processes account for a significant portion of global emissions, with a potential reduction of up to 166.00 GT. The key challenge is decarbonizing heavy industries such as cement, steel, and chemicals. Startups that introduce cleaner production technologies, alternative materials, and carbon capture solutions can reduce emissions while supporting reindustrialization.
