New Energy Nexus is a global nonprofit providing funds, accelerators, and networks to drive clean energy innovation and adoption. This project will specifically focus on establishing a policy and regulatory framework that supports the growth of clean energy technology startups in Indonesia.
We will support effective projects that reduce emissions but are not profitable enough to happen on their own, this can for example be building renewable energy to replace fossil fuels in remote locations. We will also support civil society organizations that are effective in advancing efforts to accelerate the phase-out of fossil fuels. We are also open to projects that reduce emissions of other greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide.
Climate advocacy refers to actions and efforts aimed at raising awareness, influencing public opinion, and driving policy changes related to climate change. Such initiatives can be highly impactful, bringing about systemic technological, market, and human behavior changes necessary to address climate change, as well as speed up decarbonization and avoid carbon lock-in in emerging economies. The need for policy advocacy and mobilizing financing for policy change is also voiced by international organizations, national governments, and other actors.

United States
Industrious Labs is a new organization dedicated to decarbonizing heavy industry, with a specific focus on the aluminum, cement, steel and waste sectors. Shifting from carbon-intensive Portland cement to existing, low-carbon technologies can significantly reduce emissions in this sector. Their aluminum campaign aims to decarbonize the U.S. primary aluminum industry, leading to a substantial reduction in its CO₂ footprint.
