Case Study
Norfund Climate Investment Fund's partnership with Rystad Energy Advisory
Background
The Norfund Climate Investment Fund invests in renewable energy to reduce GHG emissions. Norfund tasked Rystad Energy Advisory to identify investment opportunities in emerging markets across renewable energy and related infrastructure, such as batteries and grid improvements, that would maximize the avoidance of CO₂ emissions.
Solution
Rystad Energy Advisory screened emerging markets aligned with Norfund's Climate Investment Fund strategy, built a bespoke Investment Analysis Model, and developed four renewable energy portfolios across South Africa, India, and Indonesia—showing that 1.1–2.4 BUSD in investments could avoid 50 million tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2030.
Key Results
A bespoke Investment Analysis Model was developed for Norfund to maximize avoided CO₂ emissions per dollar invested. Investment opportunities in South Africa, India and Indonesia were then identified as having a high strategic fit and potential for CO₂ emissions avoidance.
“Rystad delivered timely results, and the communication and follow-up at different stages of the process were excellent. We also appreciated their cooperation in sharing key findings at an external event and in developing a media pitch, which resulted in an article in a leading newspaper.”
