solar - power-to-x - wind - storage
co₂ removal - bioenergy - climate tech
investment in the clean energy transition is set to reach $2 trillion in 2024; with solar still being the most desired and attracting the most capital.
last year our company witnessed significant change in appetite being directed to the permanent removal of co₂ , bioenergy and power-to-x.
we see this trend continuing for the long term.
with a strong team and network behind us, we play a small part in facilitating access to environmentally friendly and commercially viable projects.
solar - wind - storage
the solar and wind landscape is evolving, but popular as ever.
it is still regarded as the safest and most reliable source of renewable energy production, with many of the investors we work with still bullish on the sector.
the overall market has remained pretty robust in the last year , albeit some issues with grid capacity and infrastructure. these problems seem to be
under control now, in most developed countries.
many of the projects we evaluate, will have battery storage associated with it.
q2 2024: we are currently evaluating a pipeline in spain.
power-to-x
in the past 12 months we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of power-2-x projects being presented to us; particulary green hydrogen in europe.
whilst we view this as a very exciting space, this is not for every investor we work with. we think that is set to change more in 2024 and beyond.
unlocking capital is currently being driven by government subsidies and making sure there are robust offtake partners lined up. in december last year, the u.k came out and heavily backed the sector. we see this being replicated in most countries.
one to watch for sure.
q2 2024: we have access to a range of power-to-x projects in the u.k.
bioenergy
has certainly become more in demand, albeit still not for many traditional clean energy investors. nature based solutions for example, was a hot topic in 2023
and we believe this is set to continue.
we have witnessed a big change in attitudes and investor focus with respect to
bioenergy and see that trend developing nicely.
the biofuels sector is set to grow at record levels, and our company is well positioned to take full advantage of this new uptick.
rng - methanol - saf are big growth sectors.
q2 2024: we have access to a range of projects in north america.
climate tech
the acceleration towards a sustainable future has brought us a very bouyant climate / green technology sector. there seems to be a new product
coming to market on a daily basis
our focus in this space, is mainly linked to the many new technologies and solutions for carbon removal.
we often get asked to help with venture/growth capital fund raises,on behalf of business owners. as the carbon removal sector is set for growth, many innovators are coming up with ways to make this sector much more transparent.
q2 2024: we have access to an exciting climate tech company based in germany.
it starts here
in simplest terms for us, it starts with a reputable company that has dedicated the time and energy in planning their offering.
we tend to focus on processes that are proven, and dynamic teams of people behind the project or business. for certain sectors, we like to know there is a viable strategy in place for offtakers; such as power-to-x and bioenergy projects
originate
once we have learnt more about the teams, the local partners, governance and policies, we assess how robust the plan really is.
we then go to work on the commercial viability of it. typically these local partners may already be known to members of our team and
will have a demonstrable track record of success.
evaluate in-house
1. originate robust opportunities.
2. lock down mandate.
3. deep dive assessment in-house.
4. commercial and environmental viability.
5. review feasibility/planning studies.
6. call with the project/business owner.
7. we get to work.
call
we find it beneficial for both parties to jump on a conference call at
the earliest opportunity.
once we are comfortable with the expectations of one another, we look to agree an exclusive mandate and then start the process of approaching our network.
targeted marketing
each opportunity we undertake will be unique, which means in some instances we need to identify new investors.
our role is to communicate the opportunity to a targeted audience that are willing to work in a flexible, expedient and fair way. our role is to target the right investor for each unique deal.
the origination of robust opportunities is fraught with many challenges. most of which is out of our control, so we need to qualify these opportunities inhouse very dilligently. in the first instance, we must have total confidence in the team and the commercial viability of what has been presented to us.
the above, is just an insight into how we work and what our sector focus is.
market focus
we are open to a wide range of markets
renewables, bioenergy, power-to-x
u.k, spain, italy, netherlands, portugal germany, poland and greece are some of our preferred target markets in europe.
we also evaluate opportunities in the u.s.a, chile, mexico and brazil. under the right conditions we will also look at s.e.asia.
we are more flexible when assessing this market. having a verified carbon credit will be required for certain countries. we will consider any region.
for cleantech, our focus here, will be the team, the financials, and what problem the product is solving. understanding the level of impact it is going to make, will be a determining factor
