Energie of future

Quaise Energy intends to dig deeper to the depths of 65,000 feet (20 kilometers) into Earth’s core, where temperatures reach 932 Fahrenheit, and the steam generated is similar to that required to operate turbines of a thermal power plant. The company believes it can rapidly reach terawatt-scale energy generation and deliver carbon-free energy using just one percent of land compared to other renewable energy technologies. #geothermalenergy

🔍 Strategic Nordic Divestment: Analyze InfraRed Capital’s Sale of Stake in a Prime Swedish Onshore Wind Farm, with Enerdatics 🌍 InfraRed Capital Partners Ltd has marked a significant milestone with its first divestment in the Nordics, selling a 25% stake in the 242 MW Twin Peaks onshore wind project in Sweden to Infranode. Acquired by InfraRed in 2021, the Twin Peaks project recently reached commercial operation, contributing clean energy to the merchant market. Why this Move? Strategic Capital Optimization: InfraRed Capital's decision to sell a stake in Twin Peaks is a strategic move aimed at optimizing its capital allocation. By recycling capital from this high-performing asset, InfraRed is positioning itself to fuel future investments in emerging opportunities. The project developed entirely with equity, has already demonstrated its value, and this sale allows InfraRed to realize a portion of that value while retaining a significant interest in the project. 💰🔄 Balanced Portfolio Approach: It's worth noting that InfraRed continues to hold onto its Gronholt project, also acquired in 2021 but backed by a utility PPA. This reflects InfraRed's balanced portfolio strategy—retaining assets with stable, predictable returns, while selectively divesting stakes in others to seize new opportunities. InfraRed Capital's strategic divestment in the Twin Peaks project is a calculated move, reflecting their commitment to maximizing returns while ensuring a dynamic and responsive investment portfolio in the renewable energy sector. 🌿 #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #SustainableInvesting #EnergyTransition #GreenInvestment #NordicEnergy #CleanEnergy #CapitalOptimization #InfrastructureInvestment #EnergyStrategy

Brookfield Unleashes $1.1bn into SAF – What’s Their Strategy for Diversifying Beyond Traditional Renewables? 💰 Analyse with Enerdatics! Brookfield Asset Management has made its first foray into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with a $1.1bn investment in Infinium’s eFuels platform. This includes a $200mn commitment to develop Project Roadrunner in Texas and up to $850mn for global eFuels projects. Funded through their $15bn Global Transition Fund, Brookfield is positioning itself at the forefront of decarbonization. Why SAF? As returns in traditional renewables (solar, wind) decline to single digits, Brookfield is pivoting toward high-growth areas like SAF and RNG, which promise double-digit IRRs. With robust policy support—like the $1.25/gallon SAF tax credit under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act—SAF is becoming a lucrative investment opportunity. 🌍 A Broader Trend Among PE Majors Brookfield’s move aligns with similar actions by other global players: – KKR’s $2.5bn deal for stake in Enilive (SAF-focused subsidiary of Eni) – Macquarie’s $190mn investment in SkyNRG ♻️ Expanding Low-Carbon Horizons This SAF investment further solidifies Brookfield’s leadership in the low-carbon space, building on other significant deals: – $500mn investment in RNG firm California Bioenergy in Dec'22 – $550mn investment in CCS firm LanzaTech in Oct'22 – $500mn deal for 49% stake in a CCS facility in California in Aug'22 #BrookfieldAssetManagement #SustainableAviationFuel #SAF #CleanEnergy #GreenInvestments #RenewableEnergy #Decarbonization #LowCarbonEconomy #PrivateEquity #GlobalTransitionFund #eFuels #EnergyTransition #CarbonCapture #RNG #ClimateAction

PE firms and PE-backed companies accounted for ~50% of acquisitions in Nordics’ renewable space, since 2022 💪 📈 M&A Trends: Enerdatics data suggests that private equity companies have targeted large platforms or portfolios of utility-scale solar and onshore wind projects that are in the early to late stages of development. 🚀 Key Drivers: Amid increasing competition and development challenges for renewables in Western European countries, these companies are looking at the Nordics as an ideal market to diversify their investments. Further, stable market conditions and conducive government support are also spurring investor interest. 💡 Recent Moves: Mitsubishi HC Capital carried out one of the largest transactions in the region when they acquired a 20% stake in Denmark-based European Energy for $1bn. Further, Ingka Investments Group, MEAG, and Sandbrook Capital also entered into GW-scale pipelines in the region through M&A. 🌟 More recently, Eiffel Investment Group agreed to acquire a 50% stake in a 1.8 GW renewable energy portfolio in Sweden from Landinfra Energy for $32mn. The portfolio primarily comprises solar assets with the projects expected to reach the read-to-build stage by 2025. #RenewableEnergy #PrivateEquity #MergersAndAcquisitions #Nordics #SolarEnergy #WindEnergy #InvestmentTrends #SustainableInvesting #CleanEnergy #GreenTech
