What do fish, carbon storage, and ocean acidification have in common?

At New York Climate Week 2026, Climate Hive’s Kevin asks Grace Saba from Rutgers University: What Do You Solve?

Grace studies how marine animals contribute to the movement of carbon through the ocean, including how sinking waste helps transport carbon into deeper waters.

She discusses the gaps in our understanding of these processes and how overfishing, environmental change, and fishing in less-understood areas could affect them.

We also explore why some effects of a changing ocean are easier to see than others, from fish moving as waters warm to the less-visible effects of ocean acidification on growth, reproduction, and metabolism.

Could an everyday purchase notification make carbon offsetting easier?

At New York Climate Week 2026, Climate Hive’s Kevin asks Chris Sandlund from Offset C: What Do You Solve?

Chris explains an approach to helping individuals offset emissions associated with daily consumption, particularly gasoline purchases, through instant notifications linked to credit card spending.

He also shares what made this Climate Week especially exciting for the team: their launch and a climate launch party.

What if more sustainable cooking also made everyday meals more delicious?

At New York Climate Week 2026, Climate Hive’s Kevin asks Chef Priyanka Naik: What Do You Solve?

Priyanka shares her mission to help people incorporate more plant-based dishes into their daily lives and build more eco-conscious kitchen habits.

We talk about:
• Making vegetables tasty and satisfying.
• Using more of the produce you buy.
• Repurposing leftovers and shopping locally.
• Finding practical, positive ways to take action at home.

Priyanka also reflects on her experience at Climate Week and why she encourages people to make everyday changes while broader climate action continues.

How do you start reducing emissions across your supply chain?

At New York Climate Week 2026, Climate Hive’s Kevin asks Al Iannuzzi: What Do You Solve?

Al shares a practical approach to supply chain decarbonization: understand your organization’s carbon footprint, identify the biggest emissions hotspots, and engage the suppliers contributing to them.

Drawing on his experience in consumer products, he discusses Scope 3 emissions and how companies can encourage suppliers to measure their footprint, adopt renewable power, and reduce emissions, starting with their largest suppliers.

He also reflects on the progress and opportunities he sees across different sectors at Climate Week.

The cheapest power isn’t always the most valuable power.

At New York Climate Week 2026, Lou Schick, Director of Investments at Clean Energy Ventures, shared how AI and data center demand are challenging old assumptions about energy investment.

Lou’s team helps innovators bring their ideas to market and connect with customers facing big problems. And he sees those customers’ priorities changing.

When access to power determines how quickly a business can operate, speed and availability carry real value. That can make customers willing to invest more upfront or pay more for power.

Lou is candid about what’s driving this shift: he sees the commercial opportunity around AI, rather than climate urgency alone, changing investment behavior.

For energy innovators, that could create opportunities for ideas previously held back by a narrow focus on the lowest upfront cost.

What if unused biogas could become a revenue stream and a competitively priced chemical?

At New York Climate Week 2026, we asked Jona van Oord from Rise Reforming what he solves.

His answer connects two markets.

For biogas producers, Rise Reforming pays for a resource that might otherwise go unused, without charging them capital expenditure or operations and maintenance costs.

For chemical buyers, the company aims to turn that biogas into lower-cost green chemicals with a secure supply, competing on price with fossil-derived alternatives.

Jona joined the event looking for investors and partners on both sides of that equation: biogas producers and chemical buyers.

97% bio-based materials, with room to customize.

At New York Climate Week 2026, we asked Evan Smith from Highland Park Technologies what he solves.

He described an approach that brings together material innovation, design flexibility, and manufacturing to address several challenges in the building sector, including labor shortages and circularity.

The team’s product is made from 97% bio-based materials and can be customized at scale. Evan says it also costs significantly less than existing alternatives, with software and manufacturing systems developed alongside the product.

A plan for a greener building needs a way to pay for it.

At New York Climate Week 2026, we asked Andrew Haser from NYCEEC what he solves.

NYCEEC provides financing for energy efficiency improvements and clean energy projects, including solar, battery storage, geothermal, and deep building retrofits.

Andrew walks through how that support can take different forms, from bridge loans for incentives and tax credits to longer-term project financing.

He also shares what makes Climate Week valuable: getting people in the same room and building the connections needed to move projects forward.

What does an energy startup need to scale its technology?

At New York Climate Week 2026, Climate Hive’s Kevin asks Alex Morrison from Halliburton Labs: What Do You Solve?

Alex explains how Halliburton Labs helps energy hard tech startups access the capabilities of a global industrial company, including engineering, technology, supply chain support, and regulatory guidance.

She also shares what stood out at Venture for Climate: the diversity of startups and the practical problems they’re working to solve, including graphite-producing companies close to his base in Houston, Texas.

Reliable power matters just as much where the grid doesn’t reach.

At New York Climate Week 2026, we asked Aleisha Reese Cerny, CEO and co-founder of Serenity Power, what she solves.

Her answer: bringing clean, reliable, and affordable power to remote sites.

Aleisha shared a big year for the team. They had closed their pre-seed funding, scaled their fuel cells, and built their first system. Next came preparing for their first paid pilot in Europe, planned for later in 2026.

That pilot marks an important step: seeing how the technology performs in the field after years of research and development.

Watch Aleisha explain the science behind Serenity Power’s approach and what the team is working toward.
