Tree Energy Solutions, a developer of e-NG projects, has raised €140m in its third fundraising round.
This new capital will be used to develop TES’ global portfolio of green energy production and import projects. The fundraising attracted a global investor base comprising leading financial institutions and energy investors, including Azimut Group, Fortescue, E.ON, HSBC, O.G. Energy, Zhero and others, according to a news release.
MW&L Capital Partners acted as the exclusive financial advisor and placement agent to TES. Burggraaf & Hoekstra acted as the legal advisor to TES.
e-NG is a hydrogen-based green molecule chemically identical to natural gas and obtained by combining green hydrogen with biogenic or recycled CO2. e-NG is easy to transport and store using existing infrastructure and is a true drop-in green solution for industry and customers looking to decarbonise.
TES has developed strategic partnerships with a number of leading energy companies, including TotalEnergies, Osaka Gas, Toho Gas, Tokyo Gas, Fortescue and ADNOC, to create a leading pipeline portfolio of large-scale e-NG projects across North America, The Middle East, Australia and Europe.
TES is also developing a green energy hub in the German port of Wilhelmshaven. The hub is a significant element in TES’ commitment to decarbonise the German and neighbouring energy markets by facilitating the import of natural gas and e-NG, export of CO2 and production of green hydrogen and green power.
Marco Alverà, Co-founder and CEO of TES, said: “We are excited to announce this significant new milestone. The fundraising is an important step on our journey to deliver affordable e-NG and hydrogen. This newly raised capital will be used to advance the development of our upstream and downstream e-NG projects internationally. Our sustainable business model has attracted world-class strategic and financial partners to continue executing on our projects.”
Marcel and Paul van Poecke, co-founders and co-chairmen of TES, in a joint statement added: “Congratulations to Marco and team for continuing the successful execution of our plan. We are delighted to be well supported by our existing investor base and to have attracted new, well regarded, investors who share our vision for the company.”
