“I have always had a passion for this field, having spent a few years working on sustainability technology in the early 2000s,” said Chris Dee. “After my latest exit, I was contemplating the next and final phase of my career. The Green Swans model, vision, and values fit in perfectly with my desires. Green Swans has put together a next generation venture studio and have already onboarded real game changing technologies. I feel privileged and honored to join this group and look forward to changing the world. I know that sounds cliche. However, a world where lithium batteries are non-flammable, the world’s shipping needs are not destroying global ports by discharging untreated ballast water, and CPG, Chemical, Pharma, and other manufacturers can recover up to 45% of the water in their industrial processes while saving money on energy costs is a strong start.”
Green Swan Partners has created three sustainable ventures focused on clean energy and clean water in the past year. These are: Bawat Technology Services, a Danish joint venture, that deploys Bawat’s patented ballast water treatment technology in a port and ship-side Treatment-As-A-Service (TaaS) business; Aquatherm Technologies, a water and energy recovery technology for hot, humid, process gas streams; and Safe-Li, a unique inorganic membrane technology that makes lithium based batteries fire safe.
