CATALYST Opinion

Peterson: Shipping decarbonization is harder than aviation due to lower margins

“So this is like aviation, but harder because there's not as much money.”

CATALYST Insight

Peterson: Offshore wind startup opportunities are around edges, not turbines

“Turbines is a large company game, right? And so when we look at the interesting areas for innovation in offshore wind, we're really looking around the edges, right? So we're looking at how does one monitor and protect cables under the water? How does one think…”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 16:15 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Prediction Not checkable as stated

Peterson: Blue tech will avoid high-voltage transmission permitting gridlock

“Why I think there's that the, why this won't be the high-voltage transmission of you know, corollary Is because we just need to be supportive of the, of this group of companies that are trying to solve you know, solve these impact issues.”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 32:39 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Opinion

Peterson: Most viable blue tech startup opportunities are coastal, not deep sea

“We actually think that most of the interesting venture and startup type opportunities are coastal in nature in any case, because It's so difficult and time-consuming and expensive and energy-intensive to do things that are out in the middle of the ocean anyway…”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 8:26 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Assertion Supported

Peterson: Transoceanic shipping cannot currently be electrified due to energy density

“When we're talking about getting things, you know, across oceans, right, something from Shanghai to LA, then we need to talk about decarbonization a little bit differently, because doing that through electrification is just not possible right now. And based up…”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 11:24 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Prediction Held up

Peterson: First large US offshore wind projects will build within years

“Permitting is the biggest of them, but it looks like some of those for the first large projects are happening now, and so we expect to see some of the first projects getting built over the next couple of years”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 15:48 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Assertion Partly supported

Peterson: Fish carbon footprint is comparable to soy and nuts

“Protein from the ocean, whether it's conventional or unconventional, has a much lower carbon footprint than, you know, sort of traditional terrestrial-based sources of animal protein. So if you looked at fish, just sort of, if you looked at, if you just looked…”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 19:02 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Assertion Supported

Peterson: Verified carbon credit processes for ocean biomass sinking do not exist yet

“So those are still areas that we don't have all of the data that we would require in order to know those things in order to create you know, verified credits, and so that's why those haven't, those aren't you know, those processes aren't in place yet.”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 23:38 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Assertion Partly supported

Peterson: The United States holds the world's largest exclusive economic zone

“The U.S. Has the largest EEZ in the world”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 7:57 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Assertion Supported

Peterson: Seaweed and shellfish are the lowest-carbon marine foods

“And how do we think about the opportunities for even lower carbon alternatives like, ah, seaweed and shellfish, right? Which are the lowest carbon ways that you can produce. You know, food from the ocean.”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 20:34 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Assertion Not checkable as stated

Peterson: Only a handful of funds focus specifically on ocean innovation

“In general, there's really, blue tech as a theme is really early right now, and there's really only a handful of funds that are focused on the ocean and ocean innovation”

Alyssa Peterson Oct 13, 2022 ▶ 33:32 What climatetech can learn from the oceans

CATALYST Assertion Not checkable as stated

Peterson: Climate and food venture funds are sourcing deal flow from oceans

“What we're starting to see is more generalist funds and adjacent funds, folks that have either a climate focus or a food focus that are now looking at the ocean as a potential source of deal flow for them and of pipeline.”
