Net Zero. Sustainable Investing. Climate Change

With 17 years of hands on private equity investments and commercial operations experience in US Renewable Energy, Arete is one of the rare green energy consulting firms with deep expertise in areas of sustainability, climate tech & renewable energy.

Europe’s Fit for 55 plan followed by US 2030 & 2050 decarbonization goals have created an accelerated demand for negative emission technologies, regenerative agriculture, advanced biofuels & renewable hydrocarbons like green hydrogen, bio ethylene, PHA bioplastics & other platform chemicals that can be produced from biomass, municipal solid waste or carbon dioxide while creating a robust market for mandatory as well as voluntary carbon markets (VCM). With US Securities & Exchange Commission now gearing up for mandatory disclosures of GHG emissions starting from 2024, sustainability & ESG softwares (carbon accounting) for evaluating the scope 1, scope 2 and even scope 3 are going to play an integral role in calculating carbon footprint of the organization as well as for sustainable financing like green bonds or ESG bonds.
