Introducing Inflection Climate technology holds immense potential for mitigating the effects of climate change through innovative solutions in emissions reduction, carbon removal, and adaptation. However, a significant barrier to maximising this potential is the underutilisation of young, talented scientists who possess the skills and ambition necessary to drive forward these technologies. We want to find 30 of the worlds best young PhD’s, whose research and talent could have a massive climate impact. We want to support them and celebrate them. That’s why we launched Inflection The first awards programme dedicated to finding the top young scientists of tomorrow and connecting them with the highest impact opportunities to make their mark on climate change. We will bring together 30 awardees from all corners of the globe for an exclusive 2 day event in Paris, the birthplace of the International Treaty on Climate Change. As we commit to do our best to make a tangible contribution in advancing innovative solutions to combat climate change, we need YOUR help. Help us find the innovators of the future. Nominate the best young scientists you know. Be #Inflection www.inflectionaward.com Organized by Marble, Supported by Breakthrough Energy Fellows and Quadrature Climate Foundation

🌟 New people at Marble! We’re thrilled to announce the newest additions to our team: Abhinav Jain as a Junior Venture Analyst and Fatoumata C. Djelika Traoré as a Junior Programme Analyst. Let’s give them a warm welcome! 🔬 Abhinav Jain graduated from Duke University majoring in biology and economics, focusing on microbiology and environmental economics. Before Marble, he worked at Clariter, where he helped refine waste plastics into fine chemicals. He credits his passion for climate tech to his upbringing in Ludhiana, India, an industrial town with extensive pollution. Outside of work, you can find him playing football or tennis, or capturing stunning photos, with Paris being his “artistic heaven”! 🌍 Fatoumata C. Djelika Traoré brings a wealth of knowledge in international economics and sustainable development, holding master’s degrees from Université Paris Dauphine - PSL and Paris-Pantheon-Assas University. Her experience spans policy analysis and project finance at institutions like the OECD - OCDE, the National Treasury of Mali, and the Foundation for Democracy in Africa. She joined Marble to have a hands-on experience in solving global challenges via entrepreneurship. In her free time, she enjoys football and watching anime. We’re excited to see the impact Abhinav and Fatoumata will make at Marble as they bring fresh perspectives and ideas to our team!

⭐️ Team Spotlight Meet Walter Johnsen, Marble’s Venture Science Associate. Walter came to Marble after completing PhD studies in chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. His doctoral thesis was on understanding how electrocatalysts convert carbon monoxide into multicarbon products and fuels. While at Penn, Walter also wrote papers on ammonia as a hydrogen storage vector and on equitable financing mechanisms for energy efficiency upgrades as part of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Prior to Penn, Walter received a BA in Chemistry from Cornell University. 🌎 Walter sought a career at Marble because he wanted to bring compelling climate technologies outside of the lab while working alongside top founders. Additionally, through his work at Marble, Walter has enjoyed building a foundation of knowledge on many innovative and transformative solutions to combat climate change. During his tenure with us, Walter has been supporting our venture building efforts in cheap electrolyzers and Sustainable Aviation Fuels. 🧊 He recently finished up a 6 month deep dive on next generation air conditioning technologies, and is eager to initiate Marble’s efforts to build a next-gen cooling technology company. 👉 Curious to learn more? Walter is hosting our first-in-series Webinar on Clean Cooling technologies on Oct 3. RSVP now: https://lu.ma/4swr17cj Outside work, Walter is avid hiking and running enthusiast. He has completed many marathons and halfs, and just 16 seconds away from breaking 1 hour in the 10 mile race.

🥵 This summer was hot! Air conditioning is a solution to warming temperatures, but today's air conditioners have large energy needs and use refrigerants with high global warming potentials. In fact, they’re responsible for over 3.2 Gt of CO2 emissions annually! New super efficient and refrigerant-free technologies could dramatically lower the energy demand and emissions intensity of air conditioners. But there are many challenges to commercialising transformative technologies for air conditioning. We will look at the opportunity for new clean cooling technologies with a panel featuring leading investors (Nicole Florack 2150), climate thought leaders (Ankit Kalanki RMI), and executives at cooling start ups (Trevor Wende Mojave Energy Systems, Inc.), moderated by our Venture Science Associate Walter Johnsen, PhD. At this webinar, we will discuss: 🧊 Drivers for new cooling technologies 🧊 Key obstacles and commercialisation challenges 🧊 Opportunities and exciting developments in the sector. RSVP here: https://lu.ma/4swr17cj Oct 3 | 18:00 CET | 12PM EST | 9AM PT |

��️ Geothermal innovation is heating up! Data centers are hungry for clean, 24/7 power. Recent offtake agreements between geothermal startups and tech giants are just the beginning of a new era in energy innovation. Sage Geosystems Inc. has just announced a groundbreaking 150MW power offtake agreement with Meta. A few weeks ago, Fervo Energy signed a Clean Transition Tariff (CTT) agreement with Google to supply electricity to its data centers in Nevada. Baseload geothermal energy provides consistent, reliable power, and these deals signal a major shift in how energy-intensive processes will be powered in the future. 🔥 This isn’t just a win for geothermal—it’s a blueprint for the future of energy. As more companies seek to decarbonize and secure reliable power, geothermal’s potential is finally being realized. There has never been a better time to build in geothermal and clean up energy-hungry processes. At Marble, we’re looking for geothermal experts ready to take on this challenge. If you’re passionate about transforming the energy landscape, let’s partner and build the next big geothermal startup together! 👉 Deadline for applications is Sep 6, 23:59 CET #GeothermalEnergy #CleanEnergy #Climate #EnergyTransition #Startups

🤝 We’re joining forces with STATION F to create the future of climate tech. Today marks an exciting new chapter in the Marble journey as we arrive at our new home 🏠 STATION F, the world’ biggest startup campus founded by Xavier Niel, has set the bar for startup ecosystems in France and in Europe. This catalytic role is exactly the ambition we have for Marble in climate tech, as we work to create the home for future climate tech founders. We could not think of a better place to do it than at STATION F. In words of Roxanne VARZA: “We have started to see many more startup studios over the last few months. However, nothing quite compares to what Marble is doing. They are going to radically change the face of climate tech in France and we could not be more thrilled to have them on campus” ⚡️ Together we couldn’t be more excited to unlock the massive potential in Europe and beyond to create companies that solve hard climate problems and reshape the world’s biggest industries.

⚡️ Reimagining Biorefineries Sustainable biomass plays a crucial role in achieving net zero by providing flexible renewable energy, enabling negative emissions, and helping decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors. Given this growing demand we need to establish a large scale supply of biomass and build infrastructure to leverage it. One promising route is to leverage waste streams from lignocellulose -just 25% of global agriculture and forestry residues could yield over 20 EJ worth of biofuels. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 Scaling next-generation biomass processing is challenging, largely due to the complexity of lignin, which makes high-yield fractionation difficult. Efficient fractionation is crucial for maximising the value of plant cell wall materials in producing a wide range of chemicals and fuels. The bio-refinery model remains unprofitable, constrained by low margins on bulk chemicals and limited markets for specialty chemicals. Achieving a half-gigaton impact and profitability requires both product streams to be viable. 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 We aim to create a company to efficiently produce 2nd generation biofuels and other products from abundant waste biomass — with a particular focus on bio-ethanol, bio-diesel, aromatics, and other valuable chemicals. We are particularly interested in new pre-treatment approaches to fractionate lignocellulose and process engineering innovations. Are you an innovator who is ready to make a difference?
