Prior to this, the breakthrough energy catalyst program released the invitation for proposals for the first similar project in the United States last month < p > "breakthrough energy catalyst" program was launched in June last year, aiming to achieve zero carbon economy through public-private cooperation. The person in charge of the plan said that $1.5 billion had been raised in the past six months and hoped to raise $3 billion in the middle of next year. The breakthrough energy catalyst program uses the money to promote four clean technologies: Green hydrogen fuel, sustainable aviation fuel, energy storage and direct capture of carbon dioxide from the air Gates said that if the bipartisan energy bill was passed last year, it would be a breakthrough of $1.5 billion in the U.S. energy infrastructure project as early as last year. Last August, the "breakthrough energy catalyst" program estimated that such cooperation could attract up to $15 billion in investment in the United States < p > US President Biden signed a US $1.2 trillion infrastructure investment bill in November last year, including tens of billions of dollars of investment in promoting electric vehicles, upgrading airports, transforming the power grid, building a "hub" of clean hydrogen fuel, capturing carbon dioxide directly from the air and from factory emission pipelines < p > the "breakthrough energy catalyst" program is ready to fulfill its financing commitments. It plans to release corresponding funds for the first batch of technologies to be invested in the next five years or so, but the final amount will depend on the prospect of the project. Jonah Goldman, managing director of breakthrough energy fund, said: "we are very confident that the investment from 'breakthrough energy catalyst' will exceed US $1.5 billion, and some projects in the United States will become typical representatives. But first, we need to evaluate these projects." "We will not give only $1.5 billion - these must go through a serious and rigorous project evaluation process." < p > the projects finally selected by the "breakthrough energy catalyst" program in Europe may also be eligible for investment by the European Commission and the European investment bank. In conclusion, the breakthrough Energy Fund hopes to raise $1 billion for European clean technology projects between 2022 and 2027 through this cooperation. The fund also plans to issue a tender in the UK this year and then provide financing opportunities for global clean technology projects < p > "the key to all these clean technologies is to reduce costs and expand their scale to a considerable extent," Gates said last August < p > technologies that capture carbon dioxide directly from the air are typical of the need for financing. Today, this technology is still in a very early stage and very expensive. Microsoft promised in 2020 that the company's carbon dioxide capture will exceed the company's carbon emissions by 2030. In order to promote the company's carbon emission reduction, Microsoft may face an expenditure of $9.6 billion. In addition, Microsoft has also launched a $1 billion climate innovation fund to help reduce carbon emissions, reduce costs and fulfill commitments, but more investment is needed to make this technology cheap and widely used. Similarly, other technologies concerned by the breakthrough energy catalyst program also need a lot of support to start. (Chen Chen) < / P > < p >
