The Drop 2025 - Ripple summaries

How Quantum Innovation Can Accelerate Decarbonization and Resilience


At the Ripple, the group dived into how quantum innovation could help tackle climate change and build a stronger, greener world. They brought together folks from tech, finance, and science to figure out how quantum tech fits into the climate puzzle.

Key takeaways:

- Quantum computers could one day cut a lot of CO2, but the tech still needs to grow.

- Big investments from both private and public sectors are pouring into this field.

- Error correction and useful quantum machines are years away, yet hopes are high.

- Climate benefits may first show up in chemistry, new materials, and power grid fixes.

- Some wondered if quantum energy savings are real, but most saw clear potential.

Everyone agreed that quantum can spark new climate ideas, but it’s early days. The message? Working together – across sectors – will shape if and how quantum makes a real-world impact.
