\u2013 Increased investments in renewable energy, electrification and decarbonisation are key to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and achieving a net-zero energy sector by 2050. The fund\u2019s investment universe is focused precisely where the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is greatest and in markets that we believe are growing,<\/em> says Investment Director at Nysn\u00f8, Lars Hvam.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Through the New Energy Fund, HitecVision will continue its well-established investment strategy to the renewables sector with the aim of developing sustainable and profitable companies. The fund has already employed EUR 540 million through investments in green industrial value chains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2013 It is positive that capital is quickly put into work to serve the energy transformation, and we are proud to contribute capital to projects such as the world\u2019s largest offshore wind farm in Doggerbank through the fund\u2019s investment in V\u00e5rgr\u00f8nn, the value chain for carbon capture through Oslo Hafslund Celsio and renewable energy production, electrification, and energy efficiency through Aneo. For us, this is proof that HitecVision are quick to deliver on the strategic focus areas set for the fund,<\/em> Hvam continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
