Tierra Climate

This week, we sit down with Emma Konet, co-founder and CTO of Tierra Climate, to explore how her startup is decarbonizing the grid by creating a new revenue stream for grid-scale batteries. Emma explains how Tierra’s proprietary algorithms estimate and certify emissions reductions by shifting battery dispatch from high- to low-carbon periods, enabling the creation of carbon credits tied to battery operations. We also discuss building a marketplace around this model, lessons from energy trading and the battery industry, fundraising and pitch competitions like the Rice Business Plan Competition, and why Houston has been the ideal launchpad at the intersection of energy markets and climate solutions.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.
