Nitrous oxide (N₂O) has a global warming potential nearly 300 times as potent as CO₂, and is the most significant contributor to stratospheric ozone depletion since the successful adoption of the Montreal Protocol. Mitigation measures are crucial to the path toward decarbonization. A new report from Boulder-based venture capital and research firm Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) details the feasibility of hopeful new abatement technologies and investable opportunities.

Direct air capture (or DAC) technology – which removes CO2 directly from the atmosphere – has quickly become a cornerstone in plans to combat climate change. While DAC has widespread support from corporations and policymakers, it is still a nascent industry. Significant innovation is needed before DAC can make a substantial impact on global emissions. A new report from Boulder-based cleantech venture capital and research firm Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) analyzes the DAC market and identifies the most investable companies.

Biochar is a charcoal-like material created by heating plant matter without oxygen. It is a powerful, net-negative cleantech solution that sequesters carbon, improves ecosystem health, and has dozens of uses, from fertilizer to insulation to water decontamination. A new report from Boulder-based cleantech venture capital and research firm Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) analyzes opportunities in the biochar market and identifies the most investable companies.

Lithium-ion batteries represent over 50% of the rechargeable battery market and are on track for complete market dominance. However, the finite supply of lithium and other rare materials and the environmental impact of mining presents a serious challenge. One solution is battery recycling. Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) analyzes the research, technology, and investment opportunities in this growing cleantech space in a new three-part report.

Air conditioning and refrigeration are a global necessity in our rapidly warming world. Paradoxically, cooling systems demand tremendous electricity and employ potent greenhouse gases that worsen global warming and damage Earth’s atmosphere. A new report from Boulder-based venture capital and research firm Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) looks at the most investable cleantech solutions for this growing market.

Climate change and increasing population are putting the world’s drinking water at risk. One solution is to make saltwater potable with desalination. However, high costs and environmental damage have stalled the adoption of this potentially life-saving technology. A new report from Boulder-based venture capital and research firm Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) explores innovations that promise to improve desalination and identifies the most investable companies.

Concerns about health, animal welfare, and the environment have driven explosive growth in alternative proteins, making “clean food” one of the biggest cleantech markets today. A new report from Boulder-based venture capital and research firm Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) analyzes the best alternative proteins and identifies the most investable clean food companies.

As the world uses more and more plastic, it has become a threat to the environment and human health. A new report from Boulder-based venture capital and research firm Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) explores bioplastics as one potential solution and identifies the most investable companies in the space.

Concrete is the second most used material worldwide, surpassed only by water. It is, quite literally, the foundation of our world. The industry is also in dire need of decarbonization. A new report from Saoradh Enterprise Partners (SEP) identifies the strongest low carbon solutions and most investable companies.
