Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyzes the valuation of ClimateTech startups and scaleups, a topic of increasing importance in the rapidly evolving ClimateTech sector. We focus on their diverse business models, such as renewable energy, carbon capture, and sustainable agriculture. Traditional valuation methods like Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and real options valuation are analyzed, but we also explore emerging approaches that consider ecosystem services and regulatory impacts. The chapter underscores the significance of external factors, including government policies and market dynamics, in shaping valuations. It advocates for innovative, adaptable valuation frameworks that are not just a necessity but an exciting evolution in the valuation landscape. These frameworks are tailored to the rapidly evolving ClimateTech sector, keeping us engaged and interested in the changes that are shaping the future of this sector. We also discuss practical implications for investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs, with suggestions for future research on policy impact models, regional variations, and the use of AI to enhance valuation accuracy, ultimately supporting the growth of ClimateTech startups in combating climate change.
