What we build

Veja Mate Germany 71

We focus on investments in greenfield energy infrastructure projects. We have a global portfolio of energy projects with a focus on solar PV, onshore wind, offshore wind, energy storage, power-to-X, waste-to-X and other technologies.

Offshore and onshore wind

Wind energy is a cost-effective and abundant source of electricity. It has a huge potential in the energy build-out to meet the growing energy demand.

Since the construction of the first offshore wind farms back in the 1990s, we have applied our industrial approach to develop large and complex offshore wind projects with high impact. Wind energy has proven to be cost-competitive when compared to traditional energy sources. Onshore wind – together with solar PV is the most cost-competitive new source of power in most markets, making it an increasingly attractive option for investors. With a large portfolio of projects in different stages of development, we are well positioned to lead the commercialization of floating offshore wind in the years ahead.

Vineyard

In the US we are pioneering the build-out of offshore with Vineyard Wind 1, the country’s first commercial scale offshore wind project off the coast off Massachusetts.
Monegros

In Spain we have built 12 onshore wind farms in the province of Aragon.

Solar PV

Solar energy is an essential source of renewable energy and one of the fastest growing. Solar PV technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage. In combination with onshore wind and storage in batteries, solar PV has the potential to become the backbone of the complex and integrated energy systems that will supply future generations’ need for electricity.

Misae

CIP’s first large-scale solar investment was the Misae project in Texas, US. It started commercial operations in 2019 and generates enough clean energy to power nearly 60,000 houses a year.
Unicus

In India, we are developing the Unicus portfolio of solar PV and hybrid wind/solar PV projects.

Power-to-X

Power-to-X is essential in achieving a carbon neutral society that meets an increasing demand for energy.

Our power-to-X projects deploys large-scale industrial use of electrolysis-technology on GW-level to produce ammonia. This enables decarbonisation of sectors such as transport and chemicals, where historically there have been no renewable alternatives at scale.

With our CI Energy Transition Fund I we have raised the largest dedicated clean hydrogen fund globally and built a market leading portfolio of power-to-X projects with total capacity of more than 20GW. One of these is the Murchison Renewable Hydrogen Project in Australia.

Advanced Bioenergy/Waste to X

Wastes represent a significant and underutilized set of feedstocks for renewable fuel and energy generation. Waste wood, agricultural biowaste, and household and industrial biowaste can be used to produce biofuels, bioproduct precursors, heat, and electricity. And advanced biofuel technologies create high value products and recirculate nutrients compared to the traditional incineration process. 

Our CI Advanced Bioenergy Fund I focus on investments towards the production of advanced biofuels and biogas. The offtake products include green gas and green fuels, such as renewable natural gas (RNG), liquified natural gas (bio-LNG), and 2nd generation bioethanol. In Tønder, Denmark, we are building Tønder Biogas, set to become one of Europe's biggest biogas facilities.

Battery/Energy Storage

Battery storage technologies are essential to speed up the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy and will play an increasingly pivotal role between energy supplies and demands. Battery storage provide the energy storage needed to address imbalances between generation and supply and to ensure a better system integration of renewables. 

In the US, Australia and Europe we are developing a portfolio of battery storage facilities that will ease the congestion of energy transmission, enabling future increases in renewable capacity and lowering consumer costs.
