“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.”

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.”
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…”
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.”
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…”
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…”
