[28:52] “There are a number of interesting opportunities that people are just not yet mobilized to address at the speed and scale we were talking about. […] One for example is electric bus leasing. […] I definitely think there are a whole range of areas in the waste category that fit that description. We [have an] involvement in organic waste streams, like food waste, or animal waste, and turning those into either renewable natural gas or renewable electricity. […]. Plastics recycling, tire recycling, these are other areas we expect to see a dramatic growth in, because of the customer demand and the sustainability benefits, but require real system change, to bring that complexity down and to create more simple solutions that are financeable.”

[21:45] “Over $2 billion dollars was invested in [climate tech] Israel in 2021. And I think it's going to dramatically increase […] in the coming year. About 7% of all VC money was invested in climate tech. Hopefully, it will grow to 25% […] by the end of the decade. Israel is a real tech powerhouse and I think that the Israeli talent pool can and will be directed towards climate challenges.”

[13:20] RK: “The way brands are approaching the metaverse is really through this sort of digital fashion industry opportunity. The digital fashion industry is predicted to be worth 50 billion by 2030. And if you think about it right now today, we have 300 million active metaverse users, meaning they have an active avatar in the virtual world, or at least one NFT and […] they spend 3.5 more time online than social media users. So it's no wonder that fashion brands are looking at this as a customer acquisition tool.”

[36:11] PG: “The very first thing we have to be doing is investing in our tap water system. 100 years ago we built the first really great municipal water systems, […] but we haven't invested in them. […] We need to publicly expand trust and rebuild trust in that system. At the same time, we need to better regulate the bottled water industry. We need to expand testing of bottled water. We need to require recycling of 100% of plastic bottles. And that'll raise the cost of bottled water which deserves to be raised. It's already 1,000 times more expensive than tap water, which people don't understand. But we need to make bottled water a specialty item not a day to day item. A luxury, not a common date good.”

[4:56] “It's really interesting that [the] plant-based [market] […] is so under penetrated. You're talking under 10% household penetration in the US, under 15% unaided awareness, $1.4 trillion addressable market. Impossible makes food that mirrors and mimics the animal product to the point where it's as good if not preferred. And then of course, it's better for you, because it's zero cholesterol, and zero trans fat. And it does amazing things for the planet in terms of water, and greenhouse gasses, and less land use.”

[5:32] “More than 78% of this large scale [desal] capacity has been commissioned in the Middle East/North Africa region. And in terms of market share per country, Saudi Arabia has about 23% and UAE has 19%. [...] And based on the project pipeline, we think that these positions are likely to hold moving forward.”
