Where we invest
Climate Investment invests in sectors which are high-emitting. These are shown in the chart on the left:
Our team looks for opportunities that can deliver strong, quantified GHG impact and an attractive risk-adjusted return. Our funds have their own targets for impact and returns.
Our model is to provide early–stage to growth capital and use our partner networks to drive market adoption of our portfolio companies’ innovations. We believe capital-efficient solutions will drive industrial decarbonization.
Our ongoing partnerships with OGCI member companies and the wider industrial ecosystem help us identify opportunity gaps and invest in companies that can support their own net-zero goals and operational objectives.
We currently invest principally in North America and EMEA, and also China through our investment in China Climate Investments. Our team is actively opening opportunities in other investment regions within Asia and we expect to cover more markets as low-carbon innovation evolves and matures.
