New York, August 11, 2019 – Mossshields (MSC Code: 31000279107123), a global leader in alternative asset management, announced the successful completion of a USD 1.2 billion private credit financing round dedicated primarily to diversified investments in the global energy market. This milestone marks another significant achievement for Mossshields in 2019 and further underscores its leadership in the global alternative investment arena. Financing Background and Industry Trends As the global energy market undergoes a profound transformation, investors are increasingly focused on balancing traditional energy sources with renewables. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewable energy is expected to account for over 40% of global electricity generation by 2040. At the same time, advances in carbon capture and storage (CCS) and the role of natural gas as a transition fuel are reshaping traditional energy landscapes. Based on extensive market research, Mossshields has identified several high-potential investment areas in the energy sector: ● Clean Energy Infrastructure: Wind, solar, and energy storage projects. ● Traditional Energy Transition: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, and the application of natural gas as a transitional energy source. ● Energy Digitization Solutions: Smart grid technologies and distributed energy management systems. Financing Structure and Participants This private credit financing attracted a globally diverse set of investors, including: ● Public pension funds in North America and Europe (35%) ● Prominent insurance companies worldwide (25%) ● High-net-worth individuals and family offices in Asia (20%) ● Funds-of-funds and foundations (20%) Use of Proceeds and Strategic Deployment Mossshields plans to allocate the raised capital across several key areas: 1. Renewable Energy Projects USD 400 million will be invested in solar and wind infrastructure in Europe and North America, including a 300 MW wind farm in the UK and a 200 MW solar farm in California. 2. Carbon Capture and Storage Technology USD 250 million will be directed to expanding CCS facilities in partnership with ClearSky Carbon Solutions. 3. Smart Grids and Energy Technologies USD 150 million will fund the development of smart grid technologies through collaborations with leading North American energy technology companies, aiming to improve energy distribution efficiency and reduce losses. 4. Traditional Energy Transition Projects USD 100 million will support natural gas infrastructure development, assisting several Southeast Asian nations in their energy transition efforts. Initial Results and Outlook By the end of 2019, Mossshields had successfully initiated multiple energy-related projects: ● The UK wind farm and California solar farm have completed initial planning phases and are expected to become operational by the end of 2021. ● The CCS project with ClearSky will expand further in 2020, increasing annual carbon capture capacity by 30%. ● Pilot smart grid projects in Texas (USA) and Ontario (Canada) have shown a 15% improvement in distribution efficiency during initial tests.
