Breakthrough Energy
@Breakthrough
Investing in energy innovations to accelerate the path to net-zero.
One thing is clear: energy is prosperity. We have the opportunity to deploy climate tech solutions on a massive scale, securing a clean energy future for all of us.
Most buildings leak energy—through windows, walls, and ducts. @luxwall_inc and @aeroseal_llc are helping tackle the 7% of emissions that come from buildings.
Early-stage support is critical for scaling the next generation of breakthroughs. The world needs all the bold ideas we can get.
ICYMI: Leeds is launching Boulder Climate Ventures, helping student entrepreneurs transform innovations into climate-focused startups. The program is backed by @Breakthrough, founded by Bill Gates: brnw.ch/21wSu8H
Fertilizer drives yields—and emissions. @pivotbio is changing that by helping crops make their own nitrogen. A quiet shift with massive potential. youtube.com/watch?v=js89Ja…
A $150K grant once led to 35 utility contracts and $50M in clean energy projects. That is the power of catalytic capital. The new Deployment Grant Fund is built to replicate that success and accelerate cleaner, more resilient buildings nationwide: bit.ly/3GR0TJQ

Critical minerals are the backbone of electrification. @geologic_ai is using AI to find them faster and smarter. Their $44M Series B will help scale a technology that’s transforming how we discover and develop the materials the energy transition depends on.…
We invest in Terra CO2 because they’re solving one of the hardest climate problems with a solution the market already wants. Cement drives 8% of global emissions. Terra CO2’s materials cut carbon, compete on cost, and scale using today’s infrastructure. bit.ly/4nDkQEo
An iconic building, reimagined. We're proud to support the retrofit of London’s One Poultry: bit.ly/4lkBDuo

Agriculture drives 19% of global emissions, but it receives <4% of climate finance. There's a major gap, and a major opportunity, to back the innovations that can close it. bit.ly/40gAVpo
Methane-eating microbes can help farms cut emissions and boost profits. In a pilot with Straus Family Creamery, @WindfallBio slashed >85% of methane from manure lagoons while creating organic fertilizer. bit.ly/4e8I7Kb
The @IEA is predicting an all-time high in energy investments in 2025. It’s no surprise to us. Capital is chasing opportunity, and we’re focused on filling those gaps with commercially available solutions. reut.rs/4kIArAK
We're backing this team as they build what today's energy system needs.
Today I'm excited to announce Heron Power has closed a $38M Series A led by Capricorn, with participation from @Breakthrough, @EnergyImpact_ , @gigascale, @JoinPowerhouse, Valor, JB Straubel, and Zach Kirkhorn. Heron Power’s first product, the Heron Link, replaces legacy…
Breakthrough Energy Catalyst just invested $100M in @FervoEnergy's Cape Station project, which will one day be the world’s largest enhanced geothermal power project. The site will deliver 100 MW of dependable power by 2026 with plans to bring an additional 400 MW online by 2028…
NEW: Geothermal developer @fervoenergy just announced $206 million in financing for its Cape Station project in Utah. Read more from @katie_brigham below. heatmap.news/climate-tech/f…
We invested in @fervoenergy early because we saw the potential for this kind of real-world impact. Cape Station is proof they’re delivering on it. bit.ly/3FKKnKD
Utah is at the forefront of energy innovation, and @fervoenergy's Cape Station geothermal project in Beaver County is a powerful example of that progress. America’s energy future can be affordable, reliable, and clean—and geothermal will be a critical part of making that vision…
We visited @fervoenergy's Cape Station in Utah where advanced geothermal is being deployed at scale. Clean, firm, dispatchable power. 500MW. Zero emissions. This is what progress looks like. Thanks Tim Latimer and Jack Norbeck for the tour, and to @SenJohnCurtis for joining us.

Project Roadrunner is now under construction in Texas—set to be the world’s largest eFuels facility. It’s a breakthrough for sustainable aviation and a model for how energy tech can scale where it’s needed most. bit.ly/4mjEkgN
The U.S. has added more grid storage in the last three months than in the last decade. That’s not hype—it’s real progress in making clean power reliable, resilient, and round-the-clock. bit.ly/4k3U3io
Electra just raised $129M to scale its clean iron process—using renewable electricity instead of coal. It’s a practical step toward cutting emissions from steelmaking. bloom.bg/3ZjI87D
At #Ecosperity, Rodi Guidero joined leaders from @IEA and @RockyMtnInst to talk about what it really takes to scale climate tech in Asia. Grid upgrades. Capital that closes the commercialization gap. And serious investment in the breakthroughs still to come.
