The results of the US presidential election have many concerned about the future of climate technology, but the energy transition has enough financial momentum that experts don’t expect investment trends to change anytime soon. Limited partners, such as pension funds and endowments, have committed $892 billion over the past decade to the energy transition, according to PitchBook. This represents 80% of the total capital committed in this sector.
For some limited companies, investments come at the request of beneficiaries, who hope their money will be used to tackle climate change. For others, “it’s simply good risk management and opportunity analysis,” Pitchbook wrote Her note. Whatever the case, the scale and sustainability of these investments over the past decade suggests that some of the largest investors in the United States still expect climate-friendly technologies — many of which are being commercialized by start-ups today — to generate huge returns in the years ahead.
