From The Master Resource<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany [green] philanthropists who are willing to step up are looking around and saying, \u2018DOE is stepping back and Catalyst doesn\u2019t exist. I can\u2019t solve this on my own.\u2019\u201d \u2013 Lara Pierpoint, Trellis Climate at Prime Coalition (below)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For decades, energy realists have explained why the stock<\/em> energy created by the sun \u2014 fossil fuels \u2014 are inherently more economical than the dilute, intermittent flow from the sun. The concept of energy density has been explained ceaselessly in articles and books by Vaclav Smil<\/a>. Political Economy 101 \u2014 markets pick winners, leaving losers for government \u2014 also comes into play as experimental technologies enabled by special government favor face the political winds of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence? Start with the recent demise of the rooftop solar industry and the EV industry here in the U.S. Reference also the synthetic fuel programs of the 1970s, and before. Nuclear projects that were either never completed or came in far over budget (Summer Plant; Plant Vogtle III and IV) apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, a major fund for \u201cgreen\u201d energy projects has announced the end of its program after Phase I\u2019s failure. The termination of Breakthrough Energy\u2019s Catalyst arm for financing \u201cfirst-of-a-kind projects is a \u2018huge blow\u2019 for cleantech,\u201d reported<\/a> Latitude Media (February 18, 2026). Author Catherine Boudreau<\/a> explained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Breakthrough Energy has decided to cease new investments from Catalyst, its first-of-a-kind project finance arm, marking the latest setback for climate tech start ups trying to scale up in an already difficult market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fact that Catalyst is disappearing is a huge blow,\u201d said Lara Pierpoint, managing director for Trellis Climate at Prime Coalition, which deploys philanthropic capital to early-stage climate tech, in an interview with Latitude Media. \u201c<\/em>There isn\u2019t a replacement for what Catalyst was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Bill Gates-backed fund launched in 2021 with about $1.5 billion in capital,\u201d Boudreau continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

That\u2019s far more cash than most specialized project finance funds, all dedicated to a single purpose: carrying nascent green technologies from pilot phase to their first commercial project, a financing gap known as the Valley of Death<\/a> because so many startups flounder when it comes to commercializing a technology that they\u2019ve successfully demonstrated in the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catalyst\u2019s \u201cblended finance\u201d model raised capital from philanthropy, corporations, and governments, and was aimed at derisking projects viewed as too risky by larger, institutional infrastructure investors.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The program is ending at 10 percent of plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Catalyst set a goal to mobilize a total of $15 billion in project finance for technologies like green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, direct air capture, long-duration energy storage, and low-carbon cement and steel. Now that the fund is suspending new investments, it will likely fall short of that goal \u2014 right at the same time that the Trump administration has canceled billions of dollars in loans and grants for climate tech projects.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What now? The parties are putting a happy face on a large philanthropic malinvestment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWith the initial portfolio established, Catalyst has transitioned from evaluating new funding opportunities to managing and supporting its existing companies,\u201d Breakthrough Energy said in a statement to Latitude Media<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are actively working with our partners to gather lessons learned and case studies from Catalyst\u2019s groundbreaking work, and in the months to come will have more to say about how we apply those lessons to the long-term challenge of funding and deploying new energy infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The group\u2019s head, Mario Fernandez, has been terminated along with other Catalyst staff. (The funding loss and layoffs have not been disclosed.) But Fernandez was all optimism last year<\/a> about what it took to get a grant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

There is such a rigid criteria for infrastructure investors. You have to have a long-term track record for the technology. You have to have hours of operation. You have to have a really solid EPC scheme to build it. You have to have a long-term contract and you have to be able to not only invest in a small one-off project, but you have to be able to invest hundreds of millions of dollars from that fund into that technology.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But uneconomic is uneconomic. And politically correct is not what is used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gates Realism Under Trump II<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decade ago (2016), philanthropists worth $170 billion, with Gates at the helm, announced big plans for \u201cgreen\u201d investing. But reality has kicked in. According to Boudreau:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2026 the parent organization Breakthrough Energy has shifted dramatically. In early 2025, the group disbanded its climate policy teams in the U.S. and Europe. And in October, Gates penned a highly controversial letter<\/a> arguing that some climate finance was \u201cdiverting money and attention\u201d from efforts that could have more impact on preventing human suffering, like global health work in poor countries. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trump accelerated this moment of truth by cancelling hundreds of awards in the billions of dollars for \u201cgreen\u201d projects (direct air capture; \u2018green\u2019 hydrogen, DAC, distributed energy and the \u2018virtual power plant\u2019, and methane reduction programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boudreau ended by quoting Lara Pierpoint<\/a>, head of the nonprofit Trellis Climate at Prime Coalition, whose mission<\/a> is to \u201cempower donors to advance untapped climate solutions with speed and scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Pierpoint said that the withdrawal of funding from DOE, coupled with Catalyst ceasing fundraising, will inevitably have ripple effects for her work with philanthropists. Her clients want to invest in technologies with a plausible path to success that will make an impact on slowing climate change. That is becoming harder now that two major avenues for project finance have dried up.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany philanthropists who are willing to step up are looking around and saying, \u2018DOE is stepping back and Catalyst doesn\u2019t exist. I can\u2019t solve this on my own,\u2019\u201d Pierpoint said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just another milestone in the retreat and demise of the \u201cenergy transition\u201d that many on the free-market side predicted decades ago. [1]<\/strong> Vindication, however, is small consolation for the massive waste and misdirection of resources from a consumer-first free market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
