Energy use accounts for almost three-quarters of emissions and sits at the heart of the green transition. We invest in solutions that support the decarbonisation of the energy grid, the displacement of fossil fuels, and the reduction of energy use.
We invest in solutions that support the decarbonisation of the energy grid and the reduction of energy use.
Energy underpins the global economy – and remains the single largest source of emissions. We invest in technologies that enable a fast, scalable transition away from fossil fuels.
Our investment thesis
We back companies that remove the core bottlenecks of the energy transition, from generation and storage to grid balancing and clean energy carriers. We focus on solutions with clear regulatory tailwinds and pathways to large-scale deployment.
What we are looking for
- Grid-balancing and storage solutions
- Cost-competitive green fuels and energy carriers
- Technologies that accelerate renewable deployment and reduce system costs
Our investments within energy
We have backed founders building everything from next-gen renewables and fuels to electrification and industrial decarbonization, because energy sits at the heart of every system we need to transform.
