Introducing Before It Scales: 7 Myths About FOAK
What is a first-of-a-kind clean energy project, and why do they keep stalling?The IEA estimates that about 35% of the emissions reductions needed by 2050 depend on technologies that aren't even commercially available yet. Australia has the endowments to lead on these projects. So why aren't they getting built?In the first episode of Before It Scales, Joy McConnochie, Fraser Thompson, and Shaun Chau take on 7 myths about FOAK. Why it's not a technology problem. Why strong fundamentals alone won't attract capital. Why grants aren't enough. Why regulation gets too much of the blame. Why Australia can't afford to sit back and wait. Why green premiums won't fall on their own. And why the window for action is shorter than most people think.Before It Scales is produced by Cyan Ventures: https://cyanventures.com.au/Sign up to our newsletter for episode clips, show notes, and updates: https://cyan-ventures.beehiiv.com/
