Asia is at the climate crossroads. As a key player in the climate crisis, Asia accounts for nearly 50% of global emissions from real estate. With over 70 billion square meters of new construction expected in the next 20 years, the stakes have never been higher. The coming decade will be critical for addressing climate challenges, driven by climate-focused funds and ground breaking technologies. According to a whitepaper by BCG X, B Capital, and Accacia, this shift represents a $4 trillion opportunity— if 75% of new and retrofitted buildings are made green. Interested to learn more?

As the climate tech industry enters a phase we have dubbed Climate 3.0, the focus has shifted from pure technological innovation to scaling solutions that can have real-world impact. At B Capital Climate, in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), we work with companies to ensure that while they continue to develop cutting-edge technologies, they also address the crucial aspects of market acceptance, resource availability, and regulatory support. The key question is no longer just “Can we build it?” but rather “Can we build AND scale it?” The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Adoption Readiness Level (ARL) framework is a vital tool in this process, helping companies identify and overcome barriers to commercialization. By focusing on dimensions such as value proposition, market acceptance, and resource maturity, the ARL framework ensures that innovations are not only technically sound but also viable in the market. This approach provides a roadmap for scaling technologies, aligning with our mission at B Capital to drive sustainable, scalable climate impact.
