Green Investment

The carbon and renewable energy markets provide exciting new investment opportunities.

GreenStream’s Green Investment Services help compliance and financial investors, project developers and technology suppliers benefit from these fast growing markets.GreenStream develops and manages investment vehicles investing in renewable energy and carbon commodities and projects.

Management of Investment Vehicles

Investment Vehicles are founded in order to finance investment projects identified by GreenStream. Investment vehicles have their own management companies and clear investment strategies in order to eliminate conflicts of interest. Investment vehicle investors are financial investors, companies and public organisations. GreenStream may also manage funds of other organisations.

Based on the expertise gained in cooperation with e.g. the World Bank and Nordic Environmental Financing Company (NEFCO, part of the Nordic Investment Bank Group), GreenStream is currently preparing several new investment vehicles related to renewable energy and carbon markets.

Through the daily operations of these funds GreenStream has an excellent touch in the carbon market, and is continuously involved with CDM/JI project evaluation, development and contracting.

• In December 2006, GreenStream was entrusted a Carbon Manager assignment within the Multilateral Carbon Credit Fund of EBRD and EIB on the management of emission reduction projects located in the fund’s Northeast region (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan), where GreenStream aims at signing purchase agreements for approximately 8 million tons of carbon credits generated by the end of 2012.

• In January 2007 GreenStream in cooperation with Icelandic Landsbanki launched ”Blåfall”, a small-scale hydro fund in Norway. The investment capacity of the fund is about 20 million EUR and will be invested as equity.

• In May 2007 GreenStream launched the “Fine Carbon Fund” (FCF), with an investment capacity capped at 30 million EUR. FCF purchases carbon credits mainly from CDM projects for its investors who are leading Finnish energy and industrial companies in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.

• In March 2008 GreenStream launched the “Nordic Carbon Fund” (NCF), with an investment capacity capped at 40 million EUR. NCF is a vehicle purchasing carbon reductions primarily from Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects for its compliance and financial investors.

• In December 2008 GreenStream launched the “Climate Opportunity Fund” (COF), which focuses on the acquisition of post-2012 carbon credits for compliance and financial gain for its investors.
• In September 2009, GreenStream launched “Fine Post-2012 Carbon Fund” a second vehicle purchasing carbon emission reductions generated in 2013-2020.
