#Decarbonization is a key theme to monitor regarding the future of our infrastructure development. Between the shift to EVs, the production of renewable energy, and companies looking to decrease emissions, there is major investment from corporations and governments into clean technology. The chart below from Nat Bullard's annual report on the state of decarbonization illustrates the growing investment in clean technology. The categories can be broken down into the following: - Manufacturing: The construction or expansion of factories manufacturing clean energy, clean vehicles, building electrification, or carbon management technology. - Energy and Industry: New or expanded facilities to produce clean energy, capture carbon dioxide emissions, or decarbonize industrial activity. - Retail: The purchase and/or installation of clean electricity generation and storage, clean vehicles, or building electrification technology by individual households and businesses. As we continue to strive towards a Net-Zero emissions goal, there will be more demand and subsequently more investment needed into clean infrastructure. If you'd like to learn more about how the push for #decarbonization is shaping the future of infrastructure development and the investment opportunity it presents, check out the whitepaper from our Global Infrastructure Portfolio Manager Hisham Yakub, CFA here: https://lnkd.in/gsPuisQd #StarlightGlobalInfrastructureFund #Infrastructure #Investments #AssetManagement #StarlightCapital
