Decarb and energy transition projects are being judged by a different standard. Capital is still available but is coming later and demanding proof over tech promise. The distance between a technically credible project and a bankable one has widened and many teams are realising this once only their fundraising momentum has already slowed.
So if projects are not stalling because of technology fails, why are they slowing? Assumptions around permitting timelines, CapEx, offtake costs and income – all of these get challenged under the increasing levels of investor scrutiny. But the good news is that these are predictable pressure points and can be planned for with the right expertise and leadership.
Tune into this webinar on Wednesday 25th February with experts from PhiCap Advisors, unpacking what experienced teams do differently before those pressures take hold. It shows how the right leadership aligns technology economics and capital early enough to maintain credibility and negotiating power when it matters most.
By the end of this session, attendees will understand how to:
- Diagnose where a project is really stalling – not at the headline level, but across capital, permitting, offtake, and execution timelines.
- Design a business model that survives real offtake economics – understand where margins often collapse and how credible teams protect long-term value.
- Sequence capital to reduce risk – rather than just extend runway
- Build bankability before dependence on growth capital – what does genuine market validation looks like and how will it change investor behaviour and engagement?
- Drive a project reset when things are not well aligned but without killing your credibility
- Practical guidance on re-baselining timelines, costs, and structure in a way investors respect.
