Climate Tech & Sustainability Developments - November 19, 2025

Climate Tech Funding Landscape

Major $300M Fund Launched for Climate-Tech Scale-Up

A coalition of leading venture capital and private equity firms, the "All Aboard Coalition," managing $60 billion in assets, has established a $300 million fund specifically targeting climate-tech companies transitioning from pilot stages to commercial operations[1]. The fund targets investment rounds of $100–200 million to support manufacturing facility construction, prototype testing, and commercial system development. Key backers include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Khosla Ventures, DCVC, Clean Energy Ventures, and Energy Impact Partners[1].

This initiative directly addresses the "missing middle" funding gap that has constrained climate innovation. The move comes as global climate tech funding fell to $5.9 billion in Q2 2025, marking the lowest quarterly level since 2020[1]. Over the first half of 2025, global investment in climate tech declined 19% compared to the same period in 2024, with early-stage funding particularly affected—seed deals dropped 12.8% and Series A deals fell 12%[2].

Sector-Specific Investment Trends

Industrial Decarbonization Surges

Industrial decarbonization and manufacturing have experienced significant growth, capturing 19.3% of total U.S. climate tech funding in H1 2025, compared to just 9.6% in 2020[2]. Energy generation systems and infrastructure remain the largest funding category at 33.2% of investments, driven partly by AI-driven demand for reliable power and grid modernization projects[2].

Later-stage funding rounds showed strength, with Series B deals up 26.8% and Series C and later deals jumping 33.3% over H1 2024[2]. U.S. climate tech investments totaled $15.3 billion in the first half of 2025, up from $11.4 billion in the same period of 2024[2].

Notable Climate Tech Startups

Dexmat Named 2025 Climate Tech Startup of the Year

Dexmat emerged as the winner of the Trellis 25 Climate Tech Startups to Watch, recognized for its carbon nanotube innovation that is lighter and stronger than copper with applications in energy, transportation, and aerospace[4]. The startup is backed by Shell Ventures and the U.S. Department of Energy[4]. The 25 finalists collectively attracted over $750 million in funding[4].

Other notable climate tech companies receiving attention include ZeroAvia (Series B, $140 million) focused on hydrogen aviation, Pachama (Series B, $79.3 million) using AI and remote sensing for forest carbon capture, and Climavision (Series A, $100 million) developing advanced weather prediction modeling[5].
