It is not an exaggeration to suggest that eliminating real estate’s 40% share (EIA Outlook 2017) of global emissions will spawn the most significant technological shift in the history of modern buildings. And yet, this fact is gravely underappreciated by both traditional real estate investors as well as prop-tech investors, the. . Existing “low hanging fruit” climate technologies and energy services such as LED lighting, on-site solar and storage, and HVAC upgrades can help landlords reduce part of their emissions and offer positive return on. . Before jumping into the quickly evolving landscape of climate technology for real estate, it’s important to briefly reflect on how we got to this point—in order to appreciate how early this. . 2019 in many ways marked the first inning in the real estate community’s push toward decarbonization. Despite being responsible for 40% of global emissions, the industry was under the radar and not taking demonstrable steps. . The investment opportunities within the intersection of real estate and climate tech are vast. Furthermore, the technologies and underlying companies paving the way in each of these. [pdf]
Thermal energy storage is used particularly in buildings and industrial processes. It involves storing excess energy – typically surplus energy from renewable sources, or waste heat – to be used later for heating, cooling or power generation. Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks - can store thermal energy.
Fossil fuel based space and water heating in buildings constitutes 10% of global emissions, and nearly one third of all real estate emissions (excluding construction). As a result, this investment category is drawing significant attention (Billmoria 2018).
Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks - can store thermal energy. Chemical reactions or changes in materials can also be used to store and release thermal energy. Water tanks in buildings are simple examples of thermal energy storage systems.
Real estate is the largest contributor to climate change at 40% of global emissions. Real estate owners should invest more into climate tech R&D and policy should better incentivize this by reinvesting carbon taxes into climate tech R&D, a long-term positive to real estate owners.
The explosive growth outlook in the energy retrofit market for real estate caused its stock price to appreciate 2.5x since 2019, outpacing any traditional public real estate company since that time. Such preferential capital allocation toward greener real estate is only beginning.
Europe and China are leading the installation of new pumped storage capacity – fuelled by the motion of water. Batteries are now being built at grid-scale in countries including the US, Australia and Germany. Thermal energy storage is predicted to triple in size by 2030. Mechanical energy storage harnesses motion or gravity to store electricity.

The government announced its CO2 reduction target for 2020. The target represents a 30% reduction from the estimated level of 2020. This goal is deemed very challenging since Korean industry had doubled its greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2005, the fastest growth in the OECD. Korea has voluntarily set its 2020 emission reduction target. With this pledge, Seoul seeks to be a model for other countries including China and India who are catego. [pdf]

Renewable energies, particularly solar photovoltaic energy, are critical for expanding the population’s access to electricity in a sustainable basis. PV systems produce decarbonized and environmentally friendly electricity, which helps fight global warming. Cameroon has significant solar photovoltaic (PV) potential across its territory.
However, solar energy is not a panacea for Cameroon’s lack of access to high-quality energy. Solar panel output is highly dependent on the erratic nature of both solar radiation and ambient temperature, which frequently leads to an imbalance between supply and demand.
This research 18 aimed to conduct an extensive technical and economic evaluation to determine the best approach for hybrid photovoltaic/wind systems integrating various types of energy storage to provide electricity to three particular areas in Cameroon: Fotokol, Figuil, and Idabato.
Cameroon 21st December 2021 – Solarworx has expanded it’s pilot program for interconnecting Solar Home Systems to a DC Microgrid to Cameroon.
Cameroon device monitoring Solarworx Solar Home Systems “Solego 80/160” are equipped with GSM modems that allow monitoring on an hourly basis depending on the network coverage. The energy data provided during the last 30 days from Cameroon can be tracked on the dashboard below.
Power outages, load shedding, and voltage drops are common on the electrical grid, causing significant social and economic consequences for the population. In 2021, Cameroon’s power network experienced an average system interruption duration index (SAIDI) of 162.6 h and an average system interruption frequency index (SAIFI) of 41.8 2.
