Carbon Equity Decarbonization Fund I — first close (€15M)
First close of the Carbon Equity Decarbonization Fund I at €15M toward a €25M target — a portfolio of curated private climate funds, with EIP Deep Decarbonization Frontier Fund as the first approved sleeve.
Press release (14 February 2022, Amsterdam): Carbon Equity closed the first round of the Carbon Equity Decarbonization Fund I at €15 million in commitments, on the way to a €25 million target — bundling five to seven underlying climate-focused private equity funds so individuals can access diversified climate tech exposure at lower minimums than typical LP tickets.
The release highlights anchor LP profiles (founders from e.g. Vandebron, Funda, Exact) and the first approved underlying mandate, Energy Impact Partners’ Deep Decarbonization Frontier Fund, with example portfolio companies named in the text (e.g. Form Energy, Electric Hydrogen, Boston Metal).
Quote — Jacqueline van den Ende, CEO & co-founder: lowering barriers so more capital flows to decarbonization technology and infrastructure.
