🚀 Industry veterans from Old Ironsides Energy have launched Inyarek Partners, focusing on early-stage renewable opportunities in the US valued between $50-150mn.

💼 Strategic Focus: The firm zeroes in on sectors pivotal to the energy transition, such as lower-carbon fuels, distributed power, and the transition value chain such as transportation, processing and storage for low-carbon fuels.

💰Investment Trajectory: Inyarek has already made a strategic investment in Indianapolis-based RNG developer Redtail Renewables and plans to secure three additional investments within the year.

🎯 PE capital expands to broader energy transition themes: With intense competition in utility-scale solar and wind space, PE firms are shifting their focus towards other segments that provide substantial returns like RNG, alcohol fuels and hydrogen. Investments are targeted primarily towards middle market companies, with the aim to secure a first-mover advantage in these nascent markets before the returns saturates. 

🔍 Leading investments in this market are Brookfield, TPG Rise and Generate Capital, who are investing in emerging players like California Bioenergy, Ambient Fuels and Ohmium, supporting them with necessary capital for growth.
