We launched Climate Infrastructure Fund I this week ⚡ Accelerating the transition to net zero not only requires innovative climate solutions but also scaling up climate infrastructure. Venture capital and private equity help new climate technologies get off the ground, infrastructure is scaling up what is already proven to work. This fund will invest in 3-5 leading climate infrastructure funds that deploy mature technologies across 40-50 projects to achieve immediate and measurable CO2 reductions. Think hydrogen and biogas facilities, solar parks, EV charging stations and battery storage systems. With a first close of €10 million from existing investors and a target of €50 million, the fund is now open to the public. Offering individual investors the opportunity to diversify their portfolios while achieving an optimal balance between risk and return. #climatetech #climateinfrastucture #climateinvesting #energytransision This is a marketing communication. Please read the fund’s prospectus and the Key Information Document (KID) before making any investment decision. This is a high-risk investment. You may lose part or all of your investment.

New milestone 🚨: Our investors have now invested in 150 climate tech companies via our funds. Better yet, these companies have collectively raised 10 billion over the past 3 years —an impressive testament to the strong investor confidence in this sector! Seeing these companies secure such substantial funding is particularly meaningful. It’s not just about dollars—it’s about developing real solutions for our net-zero future. 🌱 This is just the beginning, as the appetite for climate investing is increasing each year. We’d like to give a big shoutout to the 900+ investors who put their trust in us to date, making this milestone possible. 🙏 #climatetech #climateinvesting #impact

About 80% of all climate technologies have a clear pathway towards cost parity. 📉💰 Here are two examples: 🔋 Several 300-mile range EVs now cost less than the average new car in the US. ☀️The cost of solar power declined by 89% over the last decade and is now cheaper than fossil fuel power in most parts of the world. Forward-thinking investors recognize that the future lies in technologies that are both sustainable and economically competitive. 🚀 Discover the "US$7 trillion Opportunity in 10 years" waiting to be tapped in our latest whitepaper.

We are optimists. We believe in the transformative impact of climate tech. 💪 "The fight against climate change sometimes seems hopeless, with companies lowering ambitions, populist politicians ignoring the urgency, and the effects of climate change becoming more evident. But whoever speaks with the co-founders of Carbon Equity gets a much more positive perspective." Catch up with Jacqueline van den Ende and Liza Rubinstein Malamud in this article for more on this. Thank you M&A Community Netherlands for highlighting our vision and efforts! 🙏

Three climate technologies changing the world 🚀 Discover how Gigablue pioneers natural carbon removal, how Blue Frontier, Inc. leads the charge in energy-efficient building solutions, reducing emissions from cooling and heating systems, and how Rondo Energy, revolutionizes industrial heat with innovative technologies like heat pumps and heat batteries.

What are the developments we’ve been most fascinated by (or worried about) in transportation? 🚗✈️ ➕ EV sales surged from 3% in 2019 to nearly 18% in 2023. Continued growth could align car emissions with net zero targets by 2030. Harbinger, which we invested in via ArcTern Ventures, manufactures EV medium-duty vehicles. A segment which is expected to grow rapidly due to increasing demand for e-commerce delivery services and stricter emission regulation. ➖ Sustainable aviation fuel accounts for less than 0.1% of aviation fuels. Achieving 10% SAF use by 2030 needs major investment and supportive policies. Supply constraints and the questionable carbon impact of biofuels add to the challenge. Twelve, which we invested in via Carbon Direct Capital, offers an interesting solution by transforming CO2 into sustainable aviation fuels. Subscribe to our newsletter for more updates like these.

The race between exponential climate change and exponential technological advancement and adoption is on. 👀 The good news: we have underestimated the speed of change. With adequate funding, these innovations and cost-competitive solutions can hit tipping points and replace our fossil-based economy faster than any of us expected. That’s why climate tech is one of the greatest value-creation opportunities of this generation.
