The latest climate technology and sustainability developments on September 3, 2025, highlight significant progress in climate tech startups, clean energy innovations, ESG investing, and climate policy initiatives:

•

Climate Tech Startups

Venture For ClimateTech announced the winners of its 2025 Global Innovation Challenge: EnKoat, Ecorich Solutions Limited, and Ultropia Corporation. These startups focus on cutting carbon emissions in sectors like buildings, transportation, and industry, while fostering economic growth and job creation. The Challenge attracted nearly 100 applications from 23 countries and 20 US states, emphasizing global momentum in clean energy technologies[1]. Additionally, the Rice Alliance selected 100 startups for its Energy Tech Venture Forum, part of Houston Energy and Climate Startup Week, showcasing ventures from nine countries and 19 states, with half pitching for the “Most Promising Companies” award[5].

•

Clean Energy and Environmental Innovations

Swiss cleantech startups are participating in the Climate Collider exchange program in Boston and New York starting September 15, 2025. These startups, including Biosimo, which produces renewable platform chemicals like bio-acetic acid from biomass and waste, aim to scale cost-effective, fossil-matching performance solutions that drastically reduce emissions[4]. Houston-based Anew Climate partnered with Seaspan Energy to deliver renewable liquefied natural gas as low-carbon ship fuel, marking a strategic move in maritime decarbonization[5].

•

ESG Investing and Funding

U.S. climate tech funding increased by 21% in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year, despite political and economic uncertainties. This growth supports early-stage startups innovating across energy, carbon, transport, industry, and nature sectors, as recognized by Trellis’s 25 Climate Tech Startups to Watch list[2]. In India, climate tech venture capital investments reached $1.5 billion in 2024, about 10% of all Indian VC funding, signaling rising interest from Western investors like Lowercarbon Capital and Schneider Electric’s SE Ventures[3].

•

Climate Policy and Global Collaboration

The Climate Collider program, supported by Swissnex and Innosuisse, fosters transatlantic collaboration between Swiss and U.S. startups, coinciding with Climate Week NYC (September 21-28, 2025), the world’s largest climate action event[4]. This reflects growing policy and ecosystem support for climate innovation. New York State’s backing of Venture For ClimateTech through NYSERDA also exemplifies regional policy efforts to accelerate clean energy and carbon reduction technologies[1].

•

Carbon Impact Metrics

While specific carbon reduction figures were not detailed in the latest announcements, the winning startups and programs emphasize technologies targeting high-emission sectors and scalable solutions that significantly reduce carbon footprints, such as renewable chemicals production and renewable natural gas for shipping[1][4][5].

In summary, today’s climate tech landscape is marked by increased funding, global startup acceleration programs, strategic partnerships for clean fuels, and policy-driven support mechanisms, all aimed at advancing scalable, high-impact carbon reduction technologies worldwide.
