We are here to get our hands dirty
Climatic is not just a finance company sitting in a white tower and making money decisions. We’re
on the ground and in the science to constantly adjust where resources are deployed to achieve the greatest impact and the greatest financial success – simultaneously.
To the investor and funder we’re a financial organisation with an impeccable level of governance, an inimitable track record while growing at an insatiable speed.
To our technology solutions partners we’re the solution to being stuck with lack of expansion and helping deploy what they have worked hard to develop. We work directly with them not just to deploy but to improve what they have.
Why do we need to grow fast?
A number of studies indicate we need to deploy around $10 TRILLION worth of infrastructure per year. A number that seems absurd in comparison to the few Billions currently being deployed.
Even if we end up needing an aggregate 10 Trillion over ten years (to 2035) to halt the rise of GHG and begin to see the stabilisation of the climate this is so out of proportion to where the world is delivering today, that it should be clear radical action if required.
So, modestly, Climatic is aiming to get $100B worth of kit under management in the first 7 years - to 2032. That amounts to doing around 1%. A safe distance from potential market saturation!
Scalable Infrastructure
We’re not asking to stop mega infrastructure projects; they will have their impact in due course.
We are, however, proposing the radical thought that manufactured scalable infrastructure is a unique way to rapidly deploy massively, everywhere. Surprisingly it’s fast and cost-efficient too. On closer inspection it seems like the best pathway.
The reality is with mass–scaling we can deploy 500 systems in parallel in different locations in the same year (let’s say at $10M price tag each) and roughly have the same impact as a $5 Billion mega project. But built in one year not the 5 - 10 years that most mega projects take.
Think of it as manufactured infrastructure.
Deployment
So what do we mean with deployment - are we out there with a shovel or a digger ? No!
It’s important to understand that a large proportion of the technologies we handle are replacement technologies. Take for example a hydrogen based generator replacing a diesel based generator - do we need a network of new technicians to install? No. We can simply contract with the people already within an area or even a site and get them to install the new kit.
Say you look at electrolyser–based sewage treatment stations - can be installed by anybody with existing plumbing and sewage experience.
Infrastructure: Private vs public
We have been conditioned to think of infrastructure as large, centralised and mostly run by quasi government organisations.
We are now in the age of decentralisation. Decentralised workforce (hardly anybody comes to the office anymore). Decentralised computing. Decentralised currencies, the list goes on…
We’re here to continue that thinking; decentralised energy, decentralised pollution control, emissions capture… etc.
Because of this decentralisation less regulation is required, less capital is required.
As an infrastructure investor you capitalise on this.
Pollution matters too
While the reduction of the emission of GHG is important, let’s not forget the much bigger problem.
PFAS, plastics and micro–plastics, chemical run-off from farms, herbicides and insecticides, the eradication of bees, landfill, un-recyclable clothing fibres. The list is long.
As such every one of these areas are part of the Climatic remit as long as the solution is infrastructure that can be deployed.
As such we see there is equal strong need to solve these challenges or we will likely end with a planer where we halted the runaway heating process but where the planet is otherwise unfit for human life.
Approach where the impact is the greatest
For all the talk about Europe and USA needing to cut back emissions (they do and they should) we need far greater focus on China and India. Combined they emit as much as the remaining top 15 countries put together!
Fundamentals of economics
People seem to forget that we currently in almost all countries of the world drive an economy powered by hydrocarbons. Replacing that too fast with unviable tech will lead to economic disaster. Let’s together ensure that new technologies are introduced responsibly, when they’re
ready.
We need deployment not technologies
Most technologies we deal with have been around for years if not decades. In other words they’re sound and they’re proven.
Why this is important to realise is that for most deployments financial forecasts can be done very accurately.
Are we tackling a 100 year problem with a 10 year solution?
Sadly, yes. It’s unlikely we’re going to be done turning the climate crisis around by 2050.
So… we’re building Climatic to be a 100-year strong company. No matter whether investors need to take an exit along the way (they can), no matter the technologies will change and evolve (they will), or our leadership will be superseded (we’ll build a strong culture)... we're here for the long haul.
