Global warming is not a threat looming in front of us. It is the catastrophe we deal with every day. While much has been said and done about the carbon footprints of almost every nation, the work done is not enough to save our earth.

Step in Jericho Energy Ventures, aka JEV, with their unique ideas and cutting-edge technologies to help organizations lower their carbon emissions and thus protect nature.

But what is Jericho Energy Ventures?

Jericho Energy Ventures has backed world-class organizations, founders, and technologies leveraging long-term decarbonization themes, including hydrogen, carbon capture, and energy storage, a publicly-traded, deep-tech venture capital and incubator platform.

Jericho Energy Ventures (TSXV: JEV; OTC Pink: JROOF) is a publicly traded, deep-tech venture capital and incubator platform, backing world-class Companies, founders, and technologies, leveraged to long-term decarbonization themes including hydrogen, carbon capture and energy storage.

Jericho Energy Ventures is a unique opportunity allowing public equity investors to gain exposure to and participate in high-growth hydrogen-related themes with a global reach.  We invest in early stage and near commercial ready clean technologies driving decarbonization in hard-to-abate commercial and industrial sectors (think: energy, utilities, materials, and heavy-duty mobility). And we target venture-scale like returns (5-10x ROI) for our efforts and your capital. 

Not a venture capitalist, material scientist or chemist? That’s OK – let us do that for you.  We are about doing the heavy lifting, creating opportunity and access – making sustainable investing simple for every investor.

Their USP – is their investments in low carbon energy sources, technologies, and applications. These investments will help transition away from fossil sources and create a more sustainable future.

In simple words, JEV is a unique vehicle that facilitates investment in the clean hydrogen future. But what does that mean for organizations?

JEV financially backs and builds low-carbon energy unicorns with global tailwinds at their back.

Jericho Energy Ventures, Brian Williamson, CEO and President said, “Hydrogen can decarbonize large swaths of the economy including heat, mobility, and long-duration energy storage, and JEV is investing behind this secular trend.”

When talking about some of the trends that will impact the energy arena, Brian Williamson said, “The growing influence of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) money flows are undeniable: ESG assets under management (AUM) in more than 2,300 global ESG funds totaled about $1.6tn in fourth Quarter in 2021, according to data from EPFR.”

It was double the amount in 2021 and is steadily growing at the rate of 3x of non-ESG funds. Currently, $3 in every $10 moving into equities is going into ESG. This secular trend is backed by the Net-Zero pledges of over 130+ global governments. To be sure, this is no fad of ‘here today, gone tomorrow.’ Internally, we like to say we are ‘future-proofing’ our business with investments in low-carbon energy.

Considering that the persistent price hikes of fossil fuels recently had quickened the transition to clean energy sources.

Speaking about the challenges faced specifically by their customers and other folks in the clean energy business, Brian Williamson said, “The higher costs associated with clean energy relative to cheap fossil fuels along with the friction of switching from fossil fuel-based systems, which the companies and employees have been operating under more than 50 years are some of the challenges.”

Counter questioning with questions like how do you accept higher input costs in the name of decentralization, and how does that play with shareholders?

Brian Williamson added, “While fossil fuels are cheap, there are costs associated with emissions that are not accounted for.

New ESG and emission accounting frameworks are forcing companies to grapple with how they will achieve their stated Net Zero goals. They need to show progress with annual and quarterly reports, much as they have done with financials. It creates accountability amongst corporates and their LT goals.”

Here is where Jericho comes in.

JEV outlines how their products and portfolio companies can help benefit the corporations driving them toward Net Zero for the least amount of incremental cost and friction.

Elaborating on the statement – Jericho Energy Ventures envisions a transition towards affordable, accessible, and resilient clean energy – Brian Williamson said, “Our active low-carbon investment strategy focuses on the hydrogen value chain and long-duration energy storage opportunities. We back high-impact startups and the visionaries behind them.”

Jericho Energy Ventures believe in the power of hydrogen, grounded in real-world efficiencies and economics. At JEV, it is believed that hydrogen has the power to propel global energy systems, mobility, and industrial processes toward decarbonization.

No doubt that currently, hydrogen is considered a more expensive alternative to natural gas for most applications; however, there is no doubt about how much use the molecule will be.

“Hydrogen packs a punch (energy-wise) and can be used as a fuel, feedstock, or energy store. We are short on the right technologies and processes to declare hydrogen a molecule of the future, and our goal at JEV is to ensure we invest, commercialize, and actively scale the right technologies to make that goal a reality,” said Brian Williamson.

To compete in the market and for clean hydrogen to fulfill its promise and bring low-and-zero-carbon energy and chemistry to the world’s biggest industries, there must be an alignment and innovation with a well-thought-out government policy.  

While we can do nothing much to influence policy, what Jericho does is provide the capital, technical guidance, and commercial partnership necessary for a successful startup with game-changing technology.

Speaking about the strategies applied by Jericho Energy Ventures, Brian Williamson said that they are in their first inning of clean hydrogen adoption as a fuel of the future. Enormous investments in R&D and innovation to reduce the production, storage, transportation, and molecule utilization cost.

Talking about the future, Brian Williamson said that JEV would continue to effectuate both its active investments into venture stage hydrogen technologies and look to expand its owned and operated zero-emission hydrogen boiler business unit.
