Our expertise
In order to reach 2050 decarbonization targets, low carbon molecules will be necessary to cut emissions in the hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy-fleet transportation, aviation, maritime and industrial applications. Driven by strong demand and supported by unprecedented policy support, including the Inflation Reduction Act, low carbon molecules (Renewable Natural Gas, Renewable Diesel, Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Hydrogen and Carbon Capture) are viewed as the next wave of growth and are expected to play a crucial role in the energy transition.
Nomura Greentech has differentiated knowledge of market structures and commercial pathways combined with structuring and transaction expertise to match capital with actionable opportunities. We continue to be a leader in advising companies and investors which are at the forefront of low carbon molecules, working with incumbents and financial investors to expand their portfolios and helping innovators raise capital to accelerate their growth.
