Funding for clean-energy startups and innovators hasn’t yet reached the levels needed for Front Range cities to achieve net-zero status. Despite the creation of new grant programs, the emergence of Green Banks, creative fundraising methods by companies and institutional investors beginning to enter the market, much work still needs to be done.
That was the message from the Funding Innovation panel at BizWest’s Net Zero Cities summit Wednesday morning, moderated by Quinn Antus, executive director of the Signal Tech Coalition.
“The current scale of clean-energy investment for well-understood technologies is falling well short of what is needed to combat climate change,” said panelist Paul Scharfenberger, executive director of the Colorado Clean Energy Fund.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Some Steamboat Springs School District students taking the bus to school or activities next school year will be riding in quiet electric style.
After receiving a more than $317,000 ALT Fuels Colorado grant in January, the district will place an order within the week for an all-electric-powered, 72-passenger Blue Bird school bus, according to Casey Ungs, the district’s transportation manager.
