We are delighted to see the announcement of the first tranche of Infinium’s Series-C fundraise. AP Ventures participated in the round led by Brookfield alongside our Limited Partners Development Bank of Japan Inc. and Mitsubishi Corporation, as well as new and existing investors in the company, including Amazon, Japan Hydrogen Fund, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), NextEra Energy Resources, Neuman Esser, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, University of Michigan and SK Innovation. This recognition from key industry players demonstrates confidence in Infinium’s innovative product and capable team.   Infinium has made great progress since AP Ventures supported its founding in 2020, with its drop-in ultra-low carbon eFuels in use today in the US and Europe. Efuels are key for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation, and we look forward to seeing the impact Infinium has in the years ahead. https://lnkd.in/euQibcYv   #efuels #SAF #hydrogen #venture

Great to see this kind of support from DNV. As a true disruptor, we at Strohm recognized early on the impact working with DNV could have, and we appreciate their support through the years. As the independent expert in assurance and risk management, DNV gives true depth to the statement "when trust matters". A collaboration that started in conventional offshore energy now continues in CCS and Hydrogen applications. Note that DNV has a lot of expertise in corrosion and CCS applications. In collaborating with DNV, Strohm continues to puss the boundaries of disruptive technology in Renewable Energy. #CCS #Innovation #Disruption #Collaboration #CarbonFootprint

This is a small investment.

A major investment from Brookfield Asset Management of up to $1.1 billion will help Infinium dramatically expand the production of ultra-low carbon eFuels. This strategic partnership accelerates the availability of sustainable aviation fuel, a critical tool to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by 90%, or more, compared to conventional fuels. As part of their commitment, Brookfield will join Breakthrough Energy Catalyst as an investor in Infinium’s Project Roadrunner, a critical step in scaling eFuels and bringing commercial volumes to market. As demand for sustainable alternatives increases, this partnership proves how institutional capital can scale technologies to decarbonize aviation and other critical sectors.

We are excited to announce our participation in Marvel-Tech’s recent Pre-Series B financing round*, which successfully raised hundreds of millions of RMB. This strategic investment, led by Qiming Venture Partners, with Templewater among the key investors, including Dachen Cai Zhi, Dongfang Jiafu, Hillhouse Investment, and 顺为资本 Shunwei Capital, positions Marvel-Tech to ramp up the mass production of its innovative tri-feed gas turbines and establish a high-power full-scale performance testing center. Marvel-Tech, a pioneer in hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives-fueled gas turbines, is set to revolutionize the energy sector with its groundbreaking technology. This technology not only supports the global push towards carbon neutrality but also provides versatile and eco-friendly solutions for global energy needs. Dr. Yufeng Wan, PhD, CFA, Partner & Head of Impact Investing at Templewater, commented on the investment, "Marvel-Tech is leading the charge in redefining the future of energy with its groundbreaking hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives-fueled gas turbine technology. We see significant potential of Marvel-Tech’s tri-feed gas turbine in decarbonizing power generation in Hong Kong and other high energy consumption areas where there is a shortage of locally produced renewable energy. Being compatible with natural gas, hydrogen and ammonia means operators can leverage multiple fuels as and when they are available without having to incur significant capex to replace power generating gas turbines. Marvel-Tech’s products also provide effective solutions of zero emission power supply to key infrastructure such as data centers, as well as to energy users in off-grid areas. At Templewater, we are deeply committed to accelerating the global transition to a zero-carbon economy. We are proud to partner with Marvel-Tech on this journey, driving the adoption of clean energy solutions in Hong Kong, Asia and globally." *Subject to certain FDI procedures in China Read more: https://lnkd.in/gB9eB-Qy #Templewater #ImpactInvesting #GreenEnergy #Innovation #SustainableDevelopment
