the Finance Gap Between
Intelligence and Impact

The expansion of AI data centre infrastructure is one of the largest capital investments and infrastructure rollouts of our time. But, as unprecedented investment pours into AI, climate action remains critically underfunded.

$7.4 Trillion / year required

$7.4 Trillion climate finance per year is required globally until 2030 to meet climate goals.

$1.9 Trillion / year mobilised

As of 2023, the annual global climate finance amount only reached $1.9 Trillion.

$5.5 Trillion / year gap

Currently, there is an estimated $5.5 Trillion climate finance gap every year.

$7 Trillion available for AI infrastructure

And yet, AI infrastructure is estimated to receive $7 Trillion in investment by 2030.

How we bridge the gap

How we bridge the gap

Bridging the Gap by Redirecting
AI Finance into Climate Finance

Keeping 1.5°C within reach requires US$7.4T per year in climate finance through 2030, yet only US$1.9T is flowing annually today.


At the same time, AI infrastructure is set for unprecedented investment (US$7T by 2030), and impact on the climate, with emissions potentially tripling to ~600 MtCO₂, as electricity demand soars.


Our aim is to redirect AI investment toward climate action, turning AI infrastructure into climate infrastructure by embedding climate solutions across every layer of AI, while also channelling capital into critical carbon infrastructure.

Accelerating Climate Action Across
Two Critical Infrastructure Ecosystems

To unlock finance for climate action, we must redirect capital toward solutions that prevent emissions from being built into our systems and which also remove residual emissions. Two ecosystems are critical to this shift—carbon removal infrastructure and climate-first AI infrastructure.

Scaling Carbon Removal Infrastructure

Scaling Carbon Removal Infrastructure

Scaling Carbon Removal Infrastructure

Enabling climate-committed companies to reach credible climate targets with high-integrity carbon investments

Scaling high-impact carbon removal projects that permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere, while driving climate resilience

Removing hard-to-abate emissions and accelerating the path to net zero which is unattainable without carbon removal

Catalysing Climate-first AI Infrastructure

Catalysing Climate-first AI Infrastructure

Catalysing Climate-first AI Infrastructure

Enabling data centre operators, OEMs and enterprises to include climate solutions within every layer of AI infrastructure

Empowering the $7 Trillion buildout of AI infrastructure to work with and advance climate goals, instead of undermining them

Embedding sustainability, efficiency, and equity into the data centres that power AI - turning AI infrastructure into climate infrastructure

Why we exist

Unlocking climate finance
with speed, scale and equity

We are scaling the systems that make climate finance flow. Carbon removal is required to reach net zero - by directing finance into carbon removal projects, we support climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience.


The buildout of AI infrastructure represents humanity’s largest act of construction in decades. By positioning finance for AI infrastructure as finance for climate infrastructure, we can decarbonise supply chains, democratise access to clean energy, and distribute the benefits of intelligence equitably.

This is the future Opna is building—where climate finance is aligned with growth, supporting people and planet, sustainably and equitably.
