En koko juttua viitsi laittaa, mutta tässä lyhyesti tärkeimmät (Otsikko, aloitus kappale ja " Hydrogen Power alaotsikon jutut)
The 30 top startups in carbon capture, hydrogen power, and nuclear energy, according to Goldman Sachs
- VC investment in clean-energy technologies swelled to more than $10 billion last year, according to a new research report from Goldman Sachs.
- Since 2016, the sector has grown 37% per year, the bank says, and deal sizes have increased.
- The firm says it expects to see “more and larger deals” across a variety of technologies including carbon removal, hydrogen power, and what it calls “next-generation” nuclear energy.
- Business Insider compiled a list of the top companies in each of those three sectors, using data from the Goldman Sachs report. They’re ranked by the size of the most recent deal. "
Venture capitalists poured more $10 billion into the clean-energy industry last year, according to a recent report from Goldman Sachs. Meanwhile, global VC investment fell by 16%.
The report reinforces the idea that the clean-tech industry — pronounced dead around 2008 — has nearly recovered.
Since 2016, investment in the sector has grown by an average of 37% per year, the bank says. And it expects further investment in the years to come, as VCs search for “answers to climate change.” However, the spread of the novel coronavirus may throw that growth into question.
Goldman also found that deal numbers have remained relatively flat, suggesting that startups are closing larger funding rounds. The number of early-stage deals is falling, too — another sign that the clean-energy industry is maturing.
In the coming years, Goldman expects to see “more and larger deals” across a variety of technologies including carbon removal, hydrogen power, and what it calls “next-generation” nuclear energy.
The firm published a list of the top 10 private companies in each of those three segments, based on the size of the companies’ most recent deals. The companies are listed by industry below, in order of smallest to largest deals.
Unless otherwise noted, the data come from Goldman Sachs.
Hydrogen power
Hydrogen power is one of the fastest-growing segments of the clean-energy industry, according to Goldman Sachs. The industry saw year-over-year growth of 106% in 2018 and 30% in 2019, reaching about $300 million in investment last year. Most of that growth was driven by investment in one startup: Nikola Motor Company.
So, why hydrogen? The gas is a common industrial feedstock, used to make everything from ammonia to steel. It’s also used in fuel cells, which can power cars and trains.
Hydrogen is considered “clean” because its only byproducts are water and heat. But more than 90% of the hydrogen we use today is extracted from fossil fuels, so analysts and experts see big carbon-reduction opportunities in creating what’s called “green hydrogen.” "
Tämän jälkeen lista 10-1 en jaksa kaikkea laittaa joten.
Lontoon kielisessä osuudessa puhutaan Redemption rights juttuja… ja jos oikein ymmärsin niin osakkeet voisi nyt lunastaa/konvertoida käteiseksi?!? öö millä hinnalla? Ja haluan nyt vaan siis säilyttää nuo osakkeet itselläni. Sekava viesti, mutta luulisi muidenkin saaneen vastaavanlaista postia? Eli mitä nyt siis kannattaa/pitää tehdä?
