Private Capital’s Role in Driving Decarbonisation Across the Economy

Private capital plays a crucial role in driving decarbonisation efforts across various sectors of the economy, beyond just renewables. Benjamin Bygott-Webb and Crosby Cook from EQT discuss the importance of investing in infrastructure and technologies that support the transition to a low-carbon future.

While renewables are essential, they alone cannot achieve the ambitious goal of Net Zero emissions. Investments in grid infrastructure, transportation decarbonisation, and energy storage solutions are equally vital. Companies like Statera and InstaVolt are examples of investments made by EQT to address grid intermittency and support the rollout of EV charging networks.

Crosby Cook emphasizes the importance of investing in businesses that support the transition to clean energy, such as Osmose Utilities Services, which focuses on upgrading the transmission and distribution grid. Additionally, opportunities like Voltera, a fleet charging business spun out of EdgeConneX, demonstrate how expertise from other industries can be leveraged to support electrification efforts.

Private capital plays a key role in driving innovation and enabling the deployment of emissions-reducing strategies across the economy. To learn more about their insights on energy solutions exciting for investors, you can read the full thought leadership piece at the link provided.
