Three ways energy projects are cutting carbon at the source
Energy is one of the largest categories on Keys for Tomorrow, with 773 tracked projects. Looking across the catalog, three distinct approaches keep recurring.
Cutting carbon from the energy system means different things depending on where you sit in the value chain. Looking at real organizations instead of category labels, three approaches keep showing up.
1 Generate renewable power directly
The most direct approach is producing clean power itself — solar, biomass, and hydrogen generation aimed at replacing fossil-fuel sources for homes, industry, and mobility.
Woodco Renewable Energy
Biomass boilers and solar PV systems for multiple sectors, with over 20 years of experience reducing carbon emissions across continents.
NWG Energia
Benefit Corporation providing 100% certified renewable electricity, focused on transparency and community projects.
iH2 – Ivoire Hydrogène
Advancing hydrogen technology across Africa for mobility, construction, and industry, including the first hydrogen demonstrator in Ivory Coast.
2 Store and recover energy more efficiently
A second group focuses on the infrastructure layer — storing thermal energy, developing renewable projects for industry, and converting waste streams into usable energy rather than generating power from scratch.
TESS
Modular thermal energy storage that replaces traditional natural gas heating systems, cutting carbon emissions for commercial and industrial facilities.
Glensol Energy Ltd
Develops and operates renewable energy projects delivering energy savings for commercial, industrial, and emerging-market clients.
OCTOMETHA
Converts agricultural waste into clean energy using underground methanization digesters, reducing greenhouse gas emissions for farmers.
3 Build the networks and coalitions around energy
The third pattern isn’t generation at all — it’s the connective tissue: smart infrastructure, think tanks, and coalitions that make the broader transition to clean energy possible.
