Private Equity Funds: Early stage/Growth Capital
Venture Capital funds: Early stage, institutional capital Companies are often still “concept” “Pre” revenue or still incipient revenues Usually several VC firms collaborate Exit or sale to larger PE funds, strategic or IPOs
Private equity funds Growth capital, usually expansion of current revenues by accelerating
growth (“accelerated organic growth”) Capital to acquire similar companies, competitors (“buy and build”) Pre-IPO capital “Greenfield” projects, require debt
Infrastructure Funds Project based special purpose companies Usually “brownfield” Significant debt requirements

Some conclusions: Transition to low carbon economy
Key ingredients: Stable fundamental economies Strong regulatory support
Stable and long term vs infrequent or volatile Long term carbon regime preferable
Financing requirements Both debt and equity capital Equity is critical for:
Early stage risk capital (VC) Growth capital (PE) Project based equity (PE)
Capital Markets IPOs but also very important for private markets to function properly
“Supply” of institutional capital via pension funds and other, i.e. institutional capital, needs to be increased in “cleantech” and “low carbon” generally
