📢 Climate Investment (CI) Backs Decarbonization Growth in #Brazil at CERAWeek - CI joined ApexBrasil (Brazilian Government Agency) and IBP - Instituto Brasileiro de Petróleo e Gás (through Programa de Parcerias de Investimentos da Casa Civil da Presidência da República) to launch the #InvestinBrasil Net-Zero Solutions program. The initiative will help international #cleantech companies scale their solutions in Brazil’s growing #lowcarbon industrial sector. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ei6z-Dmb   CI’s Global Managing Director, Marc van den Berg participated in the launch, reinforcing Brazil’s role as a key market for industrial #decarbonization and sustainable investment.   💡 With strong interest from CI portfolio companies, this initiative is already drawing global attention. CI’s Commercialization Director, Myfanwy Price Wolf, highlighted: "Brazil is uniquely positioned as a key market for decarbonization. This program offers companies not only access to a high-growth industrial economy with a strong national commitment to Net Zero but also tailored support to scale solutions where they’re needed most."   CI is excited to support #innovation, #investment, and industrial decarbonization in Brazil as the country continues its commitment in #climate and #energytransition efforts

Following CERAWeek’s discussions on #carbon transparency and #methane finance, our MD, Head of Growth Equity Patrick Yip, participated in an engaging panel at the Methane Centre of Excellence in Canada House, alongside Vanessa Ryan, General Manager for Climate and Engagement at Chevron. The discussion focused on #methane detection, mitigation, and investment strategies shaping the oil & gas industry. Key Takeaways: ✅ Scaling Methane Tech – Climate Investment (CI) tracks 200+ technologies, but only 6 have reached commercial scale. Controlled-release testing accelerates adoption. 💰 Methane Reduction is Smart Business – Solutions like gas flaring capture are gaining traction, with ROI-driven adoption (6-9 month payback) outpacing regulation. 📡 M&A & Emissions Strategy – Buyers increasingly factor methane mitigation costs into asset valuations, influencing M&A deals and buyer interest. With growing capital and industry focus, #methanereduction is moving from regulation-driven compliance to smart operational strategy. Thank you to Invest in Canada | Investir au Canada Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada for having us.

...Still at CERAWeek - on scaling #carbonaccounting, Daniel Palmer, CI's MD for Commercialization, joined an insightful panel at the Methane Innovation House, hosted by Environmental Defense Fund alongside Grover Burthey (PIMCO), James Campbell, CFA (CalPERS), and Landon Derentz (Atlantic Council), the discussion focused on unlocking capital for #methaneemissions reduction in #oilandgas. Key Takeaways: 💰 From CFOs to Capital Markets – #Methane abatement technologies exist, but many remain marginally economic. The key is elevating investment cases to secure institutional funding. 📊 Blended Capital Strategies – Green bonds, KPI-linked financing, and aggregated methane projects can scale funding similar to solar’s growth trajectory. 📡 Data-Driven Market Incentives – Certifying gas with frameworks like OGMP, and MiQ - Methane Intelligence provides transparency and financial value. ⏳ The Time is Now – Debt refinancing cycles present a unique window to embed methane reduction financing into corporate strategies. Methane reduction is one of the fastest, most cost-effective ways to cut emissions—but only if the right capital and market incentives are in place. Climate Investment (CI) remains committed to bridging technology and finance to scale impact.

Yesterday at CERAWeek, our CEO Dr Pratima Rangarajan, joined Claire Perry O'Neill (Oxy), Michele Fiorentino (ADNOC Group/ XRG), and Maria Claudia Borras (Baker Hughes) at the Oxy House in the Innovation Agora, moderated by Oxy's Richard Jackson (President, U.S. Onshore Resources and Carbon Management, Operations) to discuss carbon accounting, efficiency, and decarbonization investment. Key Takeaways: 📊 Carbon Accounting Must Evolve – Real-time, AI-driven systems like E-Liabilities can establish standardized and accountable frameworks. Oxy's partnership with Climate Investment (CI) and its portfolio company SensorUp Inc. aimed to develop a standardized #methane measurement and accounting system was also highlighted. 💡 Internal Pricing Works – Applying #carbonpricing principles to water can unlock innovation in industrial efficiency. 🔍 Cross-Sector Tech Solutions – Another CI-backed company, Aeroseal, originally developed to seal air ducts in buildings, is now tackling gas leaks in #oilandgas infrastructure and water loss in pipelines—a prime example of how innovations can scale across industries. ⚡ Efficiency First – With two-thirds of #energy wasted, optimizing existing #infrastructure can cut costs & emissions before scaling new supply. With the right #technology, #transparency, and #investment, the industry can accelerate the transition to a #lowcarbon future.
