Energy

Energy

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.

The challenge

As the world transitions to a cleaner energy system, delivering reliable high-power electricity remains a major challenge. Current storage solutions struggle with slow charge/discharge rates, limited cycle life, reliance on critical minerals, and safety or temperature limitations. Without breakthrough technologies, industries from transport to datacentres face energy instability, high costs, and barriers to scaling clean power.

The solution

Super6 is developing next-generation supercapacitors that deliver up to 9.5 times higher energy density at 80% lower costs. Their devices charge and discharge rapidly, cycle thousands of times, operate safely across wide temperature ranges, and require no critical minerals. By enabling highly responsive, durable, and cost-effective high-power storage, Super6 provides a foundational technology for a cleaner, more reliable energy system, supporting electrified transport, grid stability, and a sustainable global energy transition.
