Deep Explorations

Preparedness and Impact

We are Explorers, always seeking new ways to make the world a better place, searching for technologies and solutions that will bring significant value to our society and to our planet. To serve better entrepreneurs and partners, we pro-actively research such meaningful spaces, ahead of any investment considerations, and announce these Deep Explorations below. This is our “Preparedness and Impact” approach. Please reach out to us if you aim to bring positive impact to any of these spaces.

Current & Ongoing Deep Explorations

Green Steel

Steel production accounts for approximately 9% of global human-caused CO₂ emissions annually, making it the most carbon-intensive heavy industry. With mounting regulatory pressures, such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the shift toward decarbonization is accelerating. Emerging technologies, including hydrogen-based processes, alternative reductants, and electrochemical innovations, offer a pathway to significantly reduce emissions, aligning with global climate goals and transforming the industry’s environmental footprint.

Maritime Decarbonization

Global shipping is the backbone of international trade, but it comes at a cost—contributing 3% of global CO₂ emissions. Mounting regulatory pressures, such as the EU’s extended Emissions Trading System and the IMO’s net-zero targets, are driving the need for cleaner solutions. Long asset lifespans of 20-40 years make it challenging to replace fossil-based fleets, while the inherent conflict between cost-conscious ship owners and operators adds further complexity. As the industry transitions to a multi-fuel future, emerging solutions like ammonia, methanol, electrification, advanced biofuels, and carbon capture offer promising pathways to balance cost, infrastructure, and operational realities.
