With Natural Capital worth somewhere between $55 trillion to $125 trillion PER YEAR to us all, it was great to discuss how Natural Capital as an asset class exhibits many of the characteristics of infra, but with some even more powerful impacts for people and planet. We need to replenish our finite natural resources and find new ways to mitigate the impact of food production and our industries. Very interesting conversation with some real leaders in this field. We all agreed Natural Capital is the next step for infrastructure. With Gresham House now 6th globally in Agri Investor's latest Natural Capital rankings, we see the critical nature of investing in this area. #sustainableinfrastructure Fischer Farms Ltd #biodiversitynetgain Environment Bank StepStone Group Climate Asset Management Bregal Sphere #GreenResilienceFacility #sustainableforestry SuperReturn

"The energy transition is attractive to investors," says Prof. Tobias Schmidt (ETH) in our interview. Key takeaways: - Historically, we have invested hundreds of billions annually in the energy sector. We need to move to investing trillions per year. - This money will be used to build long-lived assets with stable cash flows, which is a good fit for institutional investors and corporations investing from their balance sheets. - Venture capital is needed to develop new technologies and accelerate their adoption, and we need more money flowing into this asset class, too.

We recently completed our seventh investors roundtable working with our friends at CTLR (Cleantech Leaders Roundtable). We had a great roster that included: - Paul Browning, Co-founding Partner, Energy Transition Finance LLC - Crescent Varrone, Managing Director, Pickwick Capital Partners - Jennifer Von Bismarck, Chief Executive Officer, Galway Sustainable Capital, Inc We covered a wide range of topics. But no matter the question asked or answer given, these folks always impress. I will be posting video shorts of this roundtable over the coming weeks, but below are three highlights of the conversation from each investor. Paul Browning - 11:01: The Trump Administration saw attempts to repeal Obamacare that fell short, and a similar scenario could unfold with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) if Trump wins again. Many IRA benefits are going to conservative “red” states, and reversing the IRA would require approval from the President, House, and Senate. However, an anti-renewables administration could redirect funding away from clean energy projects. Jennifer Von Bismarck - 27:15: The success of the energy transition relies on reliable, low-cost technology, much of which is sourced internationally. However, a lot of production and manufacturing happens inside the U.S. To develop sustainable infrastructure, it's essential to use the best equipment, establish local factories, and supply locally produced goods. Components need to be as inexpensive and reliable as they can be, so cleaner products are superior and cost-effective relative to the alternatives. Chris Varrone - 34:33: We foresaw fewer transmission needs because of boosts in energy efficiency and leveling of population growth. The opposite has happened. We are seeing large increases in energy demand from electrification and AI. Innovations in grid-enhancing technologies have become one of the most important trends. Thank you, Paul, Jennifer, and Chris for our insightful conversation. https://lnkd.in/eMp45B-u
