5、)The Power of Market ShapingEXECUTIVE SUMMARY To achieve global net zero by 2050,the global community must invest$3.5 trillionper year in emerging climate technologies,such as green hydrogen,clean steel,and long-duration energy storage.Emerging climate technologies oen require significant amounts of
6、 capital withuncertain returns.Market-shaping mechanismssuch as innovative financing,climate-friendly legislation,and industry coalitionsreduce the investment risk.All companies,regardless of size or climate maturity,can play a role in creating amarket for emerging climate technologies.To define the
7、ir role in shaping the market and accelerating deployment of climatetech solutions,leaders should ask:What can my company do now?Define your decarbonization strategy;set tangible,actionable net-zero targets(rather than mere ambitions)and transition plans;issueadvance market commitments,especially wh

10、s,organizations can address the bottlenecks and breakdowns that occur within a diverseecosystem,distribute risk,and leverage purchasing power.In the case of climate technologies,marketshaping has the potential to dramatically speed up the green revolution.Consider this.The global equity market cap i
11、s$120 trillion,and the global fixed-income market isanother$120 trillion.By leveraging innovative market-shaping mechanisms,this huge pool of privatecapital that would otherwise go to less impactful investments can instead be directed into climateaction.Private capital can be used to advance novel t
12、echnologies faster,scale up proven solutions,andsupport adaptation and resilience to improve the lives of billions.A decade ago,we saw the power of market-shaping mechanisms in global health when governmentsand philanthropists committed$1.5 billion to GAVI,the Vaccine Alliance.This landmark public-p

14、stment are needed to address the defining challenge of our time:climate change.Market-shaping activities are most effective when multiple players have a stake in theoutcome,but limited incentives to act individually.Climate technology producers face uncertaintiesaround the potential demand and willi
15、ngness to pay for their products,while climate technologybuyers can be reluctant to make long-term purchase commitments.Market-shaping mechanisms playa crucial role in creating the collective incentive for players across the climate technology value chainby derisking both demand-side and supply-side
16、 factors and encouraging economies of scale.We know what happens if we dont invest aggressively in climate technologies.Recent models showthat if we had invested$5 billion into solar in 1985,solar would have scaledand started displacingcarbon-intensive power eight years sooner.The Challenges of Scal

19、ctric vehicles,clean steel,green cement,sustainable aviation fuel,direct air capture,low-carbon hydrogen,long-duration energy storage,and advanced nuclear small-modular reactors.(See Exhibit 2.)2023 Boston Consulting Group5At maturity,and if adopted at scale,these technologies could collectively ena

23、logies will come at a costpremium as they scale without additional functional benefits;companies must be willing to paythat differential.2023 Boston Consulting Group6The good news is that these barriers can be overcome with deliberate actions.In the US,for example,the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act pr
24、ovides both production and investment tax incentives for keyclimate technologies,including incentives to ramp up carbon-capture facilities and boost greenhydrogen production.The goal is to improve the overall risk-return profile and spur investments in theinnovative technologies most needed to meet
25、net-zero goals.These incentives have spurred action notjust in the US but globally,with many major economies developing similar plans to support the marketfor climate technologies.Market-shaping mechanisms like these can dramatically shi the economicviability of green energy and climate technology.H
26、ow to Drive New Forms of InvestmentCompanies and investors are experimenting with new mechanisms to accelerate the development andscaling of climate technologies.Here are some of the most promising ones being used today.Mobilize capital through innovative finance and send clear demand signals.Compan
27、ies canaccelerate the development and deployment of climate technologies by mobilizing capital through avariety of mechanisms,including advance market commitments,concessional capital,oakeagreements,volume guarantees,and coalitions.These mechanisms not only provide alternativefunding sources beyond
28、institutional investors to help companies cross the valley of death but alsosupport mitigation beyond companies value chains and help address some of the imbalance thatexists today between net zero targets and available offset mechanisms.Advance Market Commitments(AMCs).With AMCs,a pool of money is
29、allocated to purchase largequantities of a product at established prices,which incentivizes large-scale development anddeployment at an affordable price.Example:Frontier Climate has committed$925 million to fund the development of carbonremoval technologies between 2022 and 2030.Frontiers AMCs send
30、a strong demand signalwithout favoring any particular technology.Similarly,the Carbon Removal Alliance,anindustry group of 20-plus members,is working to advance policies that support permanentcarbon removal technologies.Concessional Capital.Concessional capital aims to benefit the greater good and c

32、akes,Volume Guarantees,and Pooled Procurement.These mechanisms deploy capital when atechnology is available for purchase,reducing the financial risk companies face when scaling up 2023 Boston Consulting Group7Advocate for and implement beneficial policy mechanisms.Companies can also work withgovernm
33、ents and regulators to spur investment in promising technologies so they can scale up andbecome more affordable,which in turn incentivizes financial institutions and buyers to invest in thetechnology.Here are just a few examples:Investment is flowing.In 2021,venture capital and private equity in cli
34、mate technologies exceeded$50billion,and in 2022,the US Inflation Reduction Act devoted approximately$400 billion in funding toaccelerate climate tech.Now is the time for corporations and financial institutions to execute market-production.Oakes and volume guarantees can be purchased in conjunction
35、with othercompanies(using a mechanism called pooled procurement),allowing buyers to gain purchasingpower and secure supply.Example:The Clean Energy Buyers Association deploys clean energy and tracks utility-scaledeals in the procurement of renewables,where the deals serve as customer-led volumeguara
36、ntees for renewables providers.Coalitions can send a clear signal that market demand exists for climate technologies.Example:As part of First Movers Coalition,50+companies committed to decarbonizingseven hard-to-abate industrial sectors by purchasing clean energy technologies.This includesadvance pu
