The future is unknowable, but it’s not unimaginable. Luckily, we can phone a friend - in this case 15 clairvoyants - for a sneak peek into the future.

But first, a quick retrospective. This past year’s challenge has been all about getting commercial deployments to ‘become boring’ - when climate tech works so well that it’s unremarkable, when breakthroughs are so widespread that they’re innocuous.

2023 raised these hurdles several inches higher – steep interest rates shortened the clock, giving many less time to make the leaps, leading to canceled projects and a subsequent drop in funding. But it was also a year where the worlds of policy and finance became leading - not lagging - indicators. IRA led the way, allocating money and flexibility to maximize impact, while a more sophisticated climate stack stepped up with innovative asset layers like emerging infrastructure to bridge the gaps.
