YNTR: The Future Climate Economy will be Decentralized

You Need to Read Bloomberg Green’s The Future Climate Economy Will Be Decentralized by Emily Chasan

Distributed power generation, increasing remote workforces, regenerative agriculture, and innovative methods of carbon removal are examples of decentralization in the climate economy. Deploying such decentralized solutions worldwide and scaling them quickly – often without typical VC – will require novel financing and ownership models. 

The system created after the industrial revolution built an economy that, at least in the U.S., is concentrated in a relatively small number of counties. But the energy transition, climate change and social demographic trends are set to create a world where everything is more decentralized. One example of what may be coming is in Japan, which this week announced that it’s planning to revamp its green power law to promote distributed solar power.

 

Energy transition trends like distributed power grids, electric vehicles, renewable power, regenerative and plant-based agriculture, carbon offsets and carbon capture will eventually push investment into places it hasn’t necessarily been before, creating an economy with a more distributed endgame.
