CI ABF I and II focus on equity investments in advanced bioenergy infrastructure in Europe and North America and enables institutional investors to contribute to the energy transition and participate in the decarbonization of hard to abate sectors through the production of advanced biofuels and biomethane. Investments will be based on sustainable feedstock such as agricultural biowaste and household and industrial biowaste. The offtake products will include green gas and green fuels, such as biomethane and liquified biomethane (bio-LNG).
Biomethane is a renewable gas that can seamlessly integrate into existing energy systems. It uses the same infrastructure as natural gas and can be blended into current methane flows without modification. This makes biomethane a practical and scalable solution for reducing emissions while underpinning Europe’s resilience in terms of energy security.
I am happy to announce that with the progress of the pipeline in Fund I, we are now ready to start fundraising for the Advanced Bioenergy Fund II. It will leverage the seed portfolio and the inhouse capabilities that we have built over the past four years, providing a financially attractive product to our investors, both in terms of returns and diversified risks.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Advanced Bioenergy Fund II (CI ABF II) started fundraising in summer 2025. The fund leverages the seed portfolio and the inhouse capabilities that CIP has built over the past four years for CI ABF I, providing a financially attractive product to our investors, both in terms of returns and diversified risks.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Advanced Bioenergy Fund I (CI ABF I) reached first close with EUR 375 million in commitments in April 2022. The fund reached final close in October 2023 with commitments of EUR 750 million.
The fund has made four Final Investment Decisions and have committed >80% of its funds by December 2025.
This fund is closed to new investors.
The CI ABF I Base Case Portfolio includes several attractive projects with diverse exposure to waste types, products, offtake markets and regulatory regimes. The projects are located in Denmark (Tønder and Sindal), Spain (Catalonia), Belgium (Wallonia), Finland (Nivala) and the UK (Northwich).
