This unique technology offers a promising decarbonization pathway. #TurquoiseHydrogen #MethanePyrolysis #SteelIndustry Tenova Ternium

💡 What do Olympic sailing and high-performance business teams have in common? At TechEnergy Ventures 2025 offsite, Olympic medalist Mateo Majdalani shared powerful lessons from elite sailing that apply directly to leadership, strategy, and execution in business. Gracias Mateo 🌟 📌 Key insights: 🧠 Stay in the Present: Focus on what you can do today to grow. Focus on progress on your process and plan; treat short term wins and losses for what they are. 🤝 Collaborate to Win: Collaborating with competitors drives exponential improvement to both teams 🧑💻 Credibility in any team is earned through hard work and data-backed ideas. Tap in to learn what it takes to perform when it really matters. ⛵💼

Great interview at CERAWeek where Alejandro Solé spoke about TechEnergy Ventures Venture Build company Tulum Energy. The opportunity to lever abundant stranded gas and convert it into clean exportable molecules through innovative technologies is a unique way to deliver decarbonization pathways without need for green premiums See below the link to the full interview

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Professor Rebecca Karp 's class at Harvard Business School, where she presented and discussed the TechEnergy Ventures case study that we developed last year. The fact that almost 40% of Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) programs are shut down within three to four years—and that few survive a CEO transition or a downturn in the parent company—highlights the immense challenges of maintaining both a strategic and financial agenda. Anyone working in CVC can attest to these difficulties. That said, the potential rewards are substantial. There is little doubt that CVC´s can be an incredibly effective tool for fostering innovation and unlocking new business opportunities—opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach for leadership teams focused on delivering results in their core businesses. Successfully executing a strategic agenda can generate value on a scale far greater than financial returns alone. It was fascinating to hear the students debate our case, and as a Columbia Business School alumnus, I enjoyed being on the "other side" of the desk. As I mentioned to the class, much of the debate that the students had, closely mirrors the conversations with our Investment Committee and within our team. In the end, there is no single correct answer—mandate alignment, consistency, and execution are what truly can lead to results. Thank you, Rebecca Karp, for the opportunity, and Jorge Dimópulos, CARLOS PAPPIER, Andrea Rocca and others that contributed to the case. PS: I couldn't resist taking the classic HBS cliché picture! 🧑🎓 For those interested, you can access the case study here: https://lnkd.in/dza6mWzt

Our team has an exciting and busy month ahead, starting with the highly anticipated CERAWeek. Alejandro Solé and Andrea Siciliani are there, and while we don’t want to spoil too much, we’ve got some exciting hydrogen news in store. If this topic interests you, make sure to stay tuned! Additionally, Tomás Rauch and Laura Galvani will be representing us at two major events in the Climate Tech world: Hello Tomorrow and ARPA-E, where Andrea Siciliani will also join the team. Meanwhile, Abigail Rozenblit, just like last year, will once again participate in the International Battery Seminar.   #ClimateTech #EnergyEvents #ConferenceCircuit #InnovationInEnergyTransition

CERAWeek is already underway and our CIO Alejandro Solé and Max Pieri, Co-founder & CEO of Tulum Energy, will be speaking together at the "Turquoise Hydrogen Venture Build" panel at the Innovation Agora (Agora - GRB L3 Pod 2) on March 12, from 4:00 to 4:30 PM (Houston, TX). In this session, they’ll explore how Turquoise Hydrogen is emerging as a scalable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for meeting industrial hydrogen demand. They’ll also dive into the key challenges—such as carbon offtake, energy efficiency, and infrastructure integration—that need to be overcome for methane pyrolysis to become a cornerstone of the low-carbon transition. If you're passionate about hydrogen and cutting-edge technologies, don’t miss out—stay tuned for more updates! #CERAWeek #TEVatCERAWeek #Hydrogen #TurquoiseHydrogen #TulumEnergy

Check out our latest article on Hydrogen written by Andrea Siciliani and Alejandro Solé. Hydrogen as an industrial feedstock is a 200MM tons opportunity if we can develop a technology capable of delivering On site, At scale, and Efficient Clean H2 without the need to deal with CO2 or the incompatibility of Green H2 infrastructure requirements. #Turquoise is the most promising technology to deliver industrial needs.

As we approach CERAWeek 2025, Ricardo Markous, CEO of Tecpetrol, joins the CERAWeek podcast to discuss with Atul Arya, Chief Energy Strategist at S&P Global, the transformative impact of Vaca Muerta on the global energy map. They analyze its potential as an export driver, key infrastructure challenges, and the energy transition, thus anticipating the debates that will shape the conference agenda where we’ll be present.    TechEnergy Ventures, Tecpetrol's investment fund, has invested over $40 million in 17 startups within just three years of operation. We are now advancing our own venture, Tulum Energy, a startup pioneering methane pyrolysis to produce turquoise hydrogen—an essential solution for decarbonizing the steel industry.   Listen to the full episode here https://okt.to/XwWrcS
