GAS portfolio impact assessment - October 2020

22/10/2020

 
By Antoine Pradayrol
Six months ago, we published GAS’s first portfolio impact assessment, calculating for the first time the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are being avoided thanks to our portfolio companies.
​As promised at the time, we are now publishing a six-month update - a great occasion for, in fact, three types of updates: (i) taking stock of the growth of each business and therefore of its impact; (ii) revising and improving our impact calculation methods where we could; and (iii) adding GAS’s new portfolio companies into the mix.

Towards zero carbon heating: keeping our options open

17/5/2019

 
Heating accounts for half of energy consumption globally, and over a quarter of total CO2 emissions – so decarbonising heat must be an urgent priority.
​
However, this is a complex, multifaceted, thorny issue – with no single one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a variety of possible technologies which are both competitive and complementary; and the real-life impacts of the transition to zero carbon heating will be significant, in terms both of investments required and of disruption at customers’ premises.

Wind power: cost reduction challenges are creating great angel investment opportunities

6/3/2019

Sometimes, it seems as if the decarbonisation of power generation is so well advanced, notably in a country like the UK, that we can all sit back and relax – or rather, focus on other pressing priorities.

However, with global carbon emissions continuing to rise to new records and the impacts of climate change becoming ever more menacingly obvious, urgent action is needed – and no stone must be left unturned. Anything that can accelerate the transition to zero carbon energy must be done.

In this article, we focus on large scale wind power. Installed capacity is growing fast globally, fuelled by ever more competitive costs. In a fast-growing list of countries, deploying onshore wind power is now cheaper than fossil fuel-based electricity.

February 2019 Pitch Event Review

8/2/2019

Picture
​Our pitch event on 5 February took place at Browns Covent Garden in London, with four companies presenting to Green Angel Syndicate’s eager audience of active angel investors.
​
This time, there was a special focus on projects in the circular economy, including the recycling of plastics. However, this was by coincidence rather than by design, as Green Angel Syndicate’s selection criteria remain unwavering: we look for companies combining the potential for significant long-term shareholder value creation with a clear positive contribution to the green economy.

Smart Buildings - How The IoT Will Unlock Energy Efficiency

25/9/2017

What’s the point of connecting objects to the internet, and is it even innovative? Do we want connected toothbrushes or GPS-enabled dog collars? We at Green Angel Syndicate may tend to over-enthusiasm, but one key area where we think the internet of things is unarguably promising is making buildings smarter – in particular making them more energy efficient.

Investing In The Clean Transportation Revolution – Part 2 – Driverless Cars

10/8/2017

 
Picture
This is the second article in our series of three on the Clean Transportation Revolution. In the first one, we took a close look at electric vehicles. In this second one, we will focus on autonomous vehicles (AVs).  Driverless cars are coming. The first models could be available for purchase within two years and some predict that by 2030, 95% of passenger miles travelled in the US could be in on-demand autonomous vehicles. It is very likely that children born this year will probably never drive a car.​

Investing in the clean transportation revolution – Part 1 – Electric vehicles

5/7/2017

 
Picture
Is this the end of cars as we know them? Reading tech blogs and think tanks’ research, you could be forgiven for expecting that in a few years, the world will have effortlessly moved from human-driven combustion engine cars, owned by their drivers, to fleets of electric ‘robocars’ summoned by their users.
