Emerald Strategy Group, a full-service strategic advisory and investment firm, has launched to enable the global transition to sustainable energy and industrial decarbonization, according to a news release.
“With a portfolio spanning biofuels, hydrogen, energy storage, and renewable energy project development, and $150 million in assets under management, Emerald Capital Partners invests in the innovations powering the next wave of industrial transformation,” the release states.
Emerlad is formed through the consolidation of three specialized entities: Emerald Strategy Partners (formerly Emerald Operating Partners), Energy Transition Finance, and Emerald Capital Partners. The singular platform offers investment, business transformation and non-dilutive financing advisory services, and equity capital for businesses making energy and industry more sustainable.
In 2023, Emerald Strategy Partners advised on over $6bn of M&A, with $4.2bn of these activities resulting in a successful transaction for its clients. The group’s strategic advisory activities additionally added ~$9bn in organic and inorganic revenue to its customers’ P&Ls.
The International Energy Agency estimates that $4.5tn will need to be invested annually to meet the challenges of the new climate economy. Emerald Strategy Group exists to help companies access and deploy that capital through acquisitions and growth advisory services to meet the challenges of climate change and the opportunities to transform their businesses.
“From offices in London, Philadelphia, and Chattanooga, Emerald Strategy Partners is already a leading advisor in industrial decarbonization to Fortune 500 manufacturing conglomerates and some of the world’s largest private equity firms,” the release states.
Meanwhile, the recently launched Energy Transition Finance advisory helps businesses access the billions of dollars in non-dilutive financing available from federal, state and local governments to meet their emissions reductions targets. Its team has advised on the successful $550m U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office award and the successful $18m Defense Production Act grant. The firm is currently working with companies on loan applications worth several billion dollars.
Emerald Strategy Group is led by Lawrence Quinn, who serves as the co-founder and managing director of the firm, and previously worked as the President and CEO of Alstom Power North America and Chief Executive Officer of Severn Trent Water International Business.
