The typical belief around industrial net zero is that industrial processes are “hard-to-abate” because of complex processes which require additional tech and because at-scale projects are financially unattractive.

But what if there was already an example of financing-in-action and technology that can remove barriers to decarbonization more quickly?

Listen in to this conversation with Arun Gupta, CEO of the decade-old Skyven and hear about how their approach to decarbonization has gone through early iterations to now offer energy-as-a-service – technology based around industrial heat pumps and more – that comes with the finance solution built-in.

Alex and Arun talk about Skyven’s path to this moment in time, its work with F&B as well as Paper and Pulp and chem – and more importantly, the approach Skyven has taken to unblocking the path to financing decarbonization.

We cover the role of public funding, the need for disruptors to focus more on true client needs vs what their tech does, the benefit of presenting a holistic technology-as-service and more.

You’ll also hear about the significant projects in the pipeline and their plans to triple in size to focus on these major deployments – so we also talk about just how they are planning for that growth.

If you’re a tech disruptor, you’ll love the story of Skyven and the insights into the approach they’ve taken to understand manufacturers and investors to get he best outcome.

If you’re an industrial, you’ll be interested in the holistic service approach and ideas for how to collaborate with tech companies. No matter what your background, listen in to hear how great engineering has been combined with strong team determinations to scale critical net zero tech.
