Leading the charge: Our commitment to the energy transition.

Historically, Mercuria focused primarily on upstream and midstream oil and gas assets. However, in 2021, we made a public pledge that by 2025, 50% of our investments would be in the energy transition.

We’re proud to say we’re exceeding that goal, having actively invested in over 50 companies driving a lower-carbon, more sustainable future.

    There are 3 key reasons for our shift in focus:

    1. Climate urgency: We recognize the seriousness of climate change and the need for immediate action. The IPCC’s Synthesis Report for the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) highlights the accelerating impacts and the critical role of finance in mitigating them.
    2. Investment opportunities: We see immense potential in technologies and solutions that enable the energy transition. Our expertise and capital can significantly accelerate progress.
    3. Building a sustainable future: We believe that a low-carbon future benefits everyone, from society and the environment to businesses and future generations.

      We’re investing in impact by strategically allocating resources to a diverse range of sectors: 

      • Renewable energy: Solar, wind, geothermal, and other clean energy sources power a sustainable future. 
      • Low-carbon fuels: Biofuels, hydrogen, and other alternatives offer cleaner solutions for transportation and industry. 
      • Critical minerals and metals: These resources are essential for building the infrastructure of a low-carbon world. 
      • Green and electric mobility: Electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and sustainable transportation solutions are key to reducing emissions. 
      • Batteries and energy storage: Efficient storage is crucial for integrating renewable energy into the grid. 
      • Low-carbon technology and innovation: We support cutting-edge solutions that accelerate progress towards a sustainable future. 
      • Climate, agriculture, and nature-based solutions: Protecting ecosystems and promoting sustainable land use are vital for mitigating climate change. 

      We’re already well ahead of our 2025 target, and we’re constantly seeking new opportunities to invest in a cleaner, greener world. We believe that our proactive approach and expertise position us as a leader in the energy transition, playing a crucial role in building a more sustainable future for all.
