2025: The Year We Remember the Guardrails Coming Off
Coolbrook, a transformational technology and engineering company, has been named on Cleantech Groups 2025 Global Cleantech 100. This annual list, now in its 16th year, showcases the most promising private cleantech companies making significant contributions to sustainable innovation.
The complimentary report will introduce you to innovators advancing groundbreaking technologies and business models to enable us to act on the ever-increasing climate and environmental crisis.
The cleantech theme is poised for pivotal milestones in 2025 as market forces intensify and innovation accelerates. Continuing trends from 2024, including policy uncertainty, groundbreaking first-of-a-kind (FOAK) projects, and the surging demand for climate adaptation technologies, will emphasize the importance of product and project economics.
Companies that capitalize on organic demand—such as the growing needs of data centers—and prove their technologies in real-world environments without relying on favorable policy support, will find themselves in the best position to succeed. Economic viability will be the defining metric of success in 2025.
"2025 will be remembered as a transformative year for cleantech. The bar has gone up for what kind of level of potential novelty, uniqueness, and cost improvements might be attractive," said Richard Youngman, CEO of Cleantech Group. "The Global Cleantech 100 highlights innovators who are building the foundation for a sustainable and economically viable future."
“Being named in the prestigious 2025 Global Cleantech 100 list is an incredible honor," said Joonas Rauramo, CEO of Coolbrook. “This recognition reflects our steadfast commitment to developing our breakthrough electrification technology that addresses urgent climate challenges. Joining this exceptional group of innovators reinforces our commitment to deliver impactful and economically viable solutions that accelerate heavy industry’s transition to a clean new industrial era.”
Featured companies will be recognized at the Cleantech Forum North America, taking place January 27-29 in San Diego, CA. This event offers participants the opportunity to connect with many of the innovators on the list, along with many other rising stars. The Forum will showcase the latest trends, groundbreaking technologies, and foster collaboration within the cleantech community.
The Global Cleantech 100 program has been running since 2009, the last 12 years with the support of Chubb, the world’s largest property and casualty insurance company.
