Wells Fargo Grant Boosts New Financing Partnership Between Elemental Excelerator and NYCEEC to Catalyze Climate Technology Innovation - Seite 2
"We are proud to work together with Elemental Excelerator and NYCEEC to help strengthen the pipeline that can deploy capital for climate resilience," said Robyn Luhning, Chief Sustainability Officer at Wells Fargo. "Across the communities we serve, we seek to accelerate solutions that support access to clean, affordable energy technologies and economic opportunity."
The announcement comes in the lead up to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and other important Inflation Reduction Act programs that will activate investors, from state and local green banks to community development finance institutions, to make climate solutions more affordable and accessible to low-income and other underserved communities across the country. Through this initiative, Elemental and NYCEEC will establish resources and frameworks that can be used across the climate tech investing ecosystem to support expanded funding opportunities that will be made available through the GGRF.
