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. And because we can’t help ourselves, we then attempted to extrapolate the straight line between these divergent views of what’s to come for climate tech in 2024. Read on to hear our expert views, or take your foresight test here. 

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.
