Mid-year Review: 'Waste-to-value Opportunities' Most Untapped (New Private Markets)

Bill Green Founder and Managing Partner at Climate Adaptive Infrastructure, recently sat down with Charles Avery of New Private Markets for the publication’s Q&A series to reflect on the growth of the impact investing market, themes, sectors and strategies that are both overcapitalized and untapped, and CAI’s investment priorities heading into the second half of the year. Green commented, “Climate Adaptive Infrastructure has largely side-stepped the “tempest in the teapot” around ESG. We view this debate as a distraction from the critical importance of addressing the climate crisis. Sadly, the term ESG has always had a Tower of Babel problem – ask 10 fund managers what it means, and you will get 11 different opinions! This is unhelpful and lends itself to the current politicization of the topic.” CAI continues to invest in infrastructure projects designed from the outset to address the critical challenges we face in decarbonizing our energy, water and urban infrastructure systems. As Green continued, “We are excited about waste-to-value opportunities that touch the water and urban infrastructure subsectors. We are invested in various forms of green molecule production and use – to be specific, those involving green hydrogen, ammonia and methanol.” Read the full interview here (subscription is required): Mid-year review: 'Waste-to-value opportunities' most untapped, says CAI's Bill Green (newprivatemarkets.com)
