Every year, the MIT Technology Review newsroom produces this list of some of the most promising climate tech firms on the planet. It’s an exercise that we hope brings positive attention to companies working to decarbonize major sectors of our economy, whether by spinning up new, cleaner sources of energy or reinventing how we produce foods and distribute goods.
Though the political and funding landscape has shifted dramatically in the US since the last time we put out this list, nothing has altered the urgency of the climate dangers the world now faces—we need to rapidly curb greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. This project highlights the firms making progress toward that end.
