committing emissions across the wine industry

-

 The International Wineries For Climate Action (or IWCAWINE — a truly horrible acronym) is committed to committing emissions across the wine industry, through direct solutions that avoid purchasing carbon offset credits.

Dealing with climate change means mitigation and adaptation, and IWCAWINE is the most well-known organization in the space. A bunch of huge wineries have gotten together and committed to producing zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The prices wine drinkers pay

Climate change doesn't just change the taste of wine – it increases the cost.

Improving infrastructure, dealing with pests, and relocating to higher ground can all be extremely costly. And these production costs are already being passed onto us.

Shorter harvesting periods are another massive problem. The harder a complex flavor profile is to recreate, the more expensive the wine will become.

Radical decarbonization tools - TODAY

  Radical decarbonization tools Deep tech climate startups can radically decarbonize our industries by leveraging two superpowers: 1) science and 2) entrepreneurship. While science provides impactful breakthroughs, entrepreneurship enables their fast implementation for tackling the climate crisis. Deep tech climate startups have already developed ways to grow steaks without an animal ( Mosa Meat ,   Aleph Farms ), build electric airplanes ( Heart Aerospace ), invent multi-day energy storage ( Antora Energy ,   Form Energy ), and develop plastic-eating enzymes ( Epoch BioDesign ,   Beworm ). There are two areas where I believe deep tech startups can make an outsized climate impact: #1. Decarbonizing hard-to-abate manufacturing sectors Concrete, steel, and other manufacturing industries (e.g., plastics and chemicals) form the backbone of our modern society. These industries make up   20% of global greenhouse gas emissions   and, unfortunately, are all   ...
