Our Work at Realize 2050
Orchestrate Technology Partnerships as Decarbonization Tools
Realize 2050 orchestrates strategic technology partnerships, which we believe are the lowest cost/ton investments most organizations can make. Unlike carbon offsets, these “carbon insets” can be less expensive in the long run and build relevant competencies to drive an organization’s future growth. Through innovation competitions, joint venture negotiations, technology scouting, venture studios, accelerators, and technical workshops, we unite needs with solutions and align incentives for mutual success.
Unstick Underutilized Technologies
Realize 2050 helps clients unlock the potential of emerging climate technologies that have yet to fulfill their promise. Many leading companies possess novel climate technologies that remain locked within incumbent organizations because they are not sufficiently adjacent to the core business and are perceived as too risky for further investment. We assist clients in identifying and launching these climate ventures by putting in place the right team, capital partners, incentives, and organizational structure.
Enable Public / Private
Partnerships
Realize 2050 designs innovative programs and business models to secure non-dilutive funding for pivotal energy transition projects. To achieve the ambitious goals of the IRA, IIJA, and other federal and state programs, the energy transition demands unprecedented collaboration between the public and private sectors. We lead and streamline the grant application process and then create the conditions for “wins” - early and often - throughout the implementation of public-private partnerships.
Reinvent Traditional Industries
At Realize 2050, we help clients reinvent traditional industries using tools and technologies that are either emerging or simply don’t yet exist. For example, we guide organizations in reimagining utilities from the ground up, leveraging advanced AI and machine learning tools to optimize operations and reduce carbon footprints. Recognizing that opportunities for clean slates in addressing climate issues are rare, we apply a forward-thinking mindset to every project.
