It typically takes more than a decade for a new technology solution to reach commercial scale, and another decade before it makes a material impact on Net Zero.

Unfortunately, the innovation engine that produces new technology solutions and the utility-scale industry are completely different worlds, each with their own timelines, risk appetite, professional networks, and even vocabularies.

Achieving Net Zero emissions means not only rapidly deploying established clean resources such as renewables and batteries, but also commercializing technologies that make little or no impact today. New solutions that reduce emissions will be required in all facets of life; and scaled up carbon capture will be essential.

We do not have decades to spare in our race to Net Zero.

The goal of Blue Marble Capital is to compress the time to material impact for new climate tech solutions from 18 years to 5 years.

The proprietary Horizontal Capital™ strategy accelerates the commercialization of environmental solutions to utility scale by investing early, deploying lean methodologies, and staying involved through scale production ensuring a smooth commercialization.

Making a positive impact is key to the Blue Marble Capital mission. We use the Impact Multiple of Money (IMM) as a metric for evaluating potential investments. The IMM offers a rigorous methodology to advance the art of allocating capital to achieve not only financial returns, but also lasting positive environmental and social impact.

Currently, the target for new investments is an IMM of 2x, and a target to bring this up to 5x. With such aggressive goals, this will help managers accelerate their current portfolio carbon footprint.
