The combination of concerns for the environment, economic security,
and political instability in energy-producing countries has generated
two accelerating forces in the Energy Technology market:
- An intensifying hunt for new efficiencies in existing energy use;
- A logarithmic growth in demand for renewable energy
technologies that are cost-competitive and available enough to
displace fossil fuels.
The time is ripe for technological change in a market where the last
"paradigm shift" was the construction of the AC electric grid
a century ago.
For years, Firelake has invested in companies whose defensible
IP will accelerate that change. Our domain expertise in Energy
Technology gives us research and operational advantages in this
field. We've seen how energy economics have evolved. We use that
experience to evaluate energy opportunities. And we keep our
investments out in front of rapidly steepening demand curves.
