Our approach
i(x) Net Zero believes that capital, deployed intentionally, has the power to improve the sustainability of our planet and the communities in which we live.
Our purpose is to generate long-term capital growth for our shareholders principally by investing in, founding and partnering with companies that are committed to two areas of focus: facilitating and accelerating the energy transition to clean and sustainable energy and sustainability in the built environment.
i(x) Net Zero’s thesis and investment rationale is that it can help build and finance the solutions to these problems while pursuing top-tier, non-concessionary investment returns with measurable, scalable impact in the process.
Platform companies
Energy transition
i(x) Net Zero has four investment holdings that are committed to facilitating and accelerating the transition away from energy that is derived from fossil fuels to clean and renewable energy sources.
WasteFuel
WasteFuel produces renewable fuels using proven technologies to address the climate emergency and revolutionize mobility by air, land, and sea. WasteFuel converts municipal (trash) and agricultural waste into low-carbon fuels, renewable natural gas, and green methanol. The first project in development is with leading infrastructure developer Prime Infrastructure and NetJets to convert municipal waste into aviation-grade low-carbon fuels in Manila, Philippines. WasteFuel is also developing green bio-methanol in the Americas and Asia with the world’s largest shipping company and WasteFuel investor, A.P. Moller Maersk.
Carbon Engineering
Exited investment at the second half of 2023, with realized return of 7.2x
Carbon Engineering is a Canadian company that deploys a proprietary Direct Air Capture technology that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) directly out of the atmosphere and sequesters it for commercial and industrial use. The Company’s strategic goal behind this investment is to explore opportunities with strategic investors and industrial partners to deploy this technology through licensing globally, similar to what it has done with WasteFuel.
Enphys Acquisition
Enphys Acquisition which listed on the NYSE recently, is a blank check company (SPAC) targeting renewable energy businesses in Ibero-America, that i(x) co-sponsored with LAIG Investments. LAIG’s unique deal access, track record, and ability to execute in these specific markets with the long-term goal to build the leading renewables platform in Latin America makes this partnership highly attractive.
Context Labs
Context Labs is an impact software company, incorporated in the Netherlands and headquartered in the U.S. Its digital infrastructure technology platform brings trusted data and analytics to complex problems with contextual precision. With its focus on ESG and impact, it has been referred to as “Palantir for Climate,” building an interconnected trusted-data matrix of the planet’s climate attributes, using AI and machine learning to correlate both public and private company’s actions to financial performance.
Citron Energy
Citron Energy aims to replace the use of fossil fuels by processing non-recyclable municipal and commercial waste into a combustable fuel. The use of CitronFuel™ will allow the replacement of coal as well as helping to reduce landfill usage and significantly lower CO2 emissions.
CitronFuel™ is derived from mechanically processed waste streams; sold as a lower CO₂ fossil fuel substitute; utilized by cement and lime kilns. When a cement plant burns CitronFuel™ it is a win-win. Energy costs are reduced. GHG emissions are cut.
Sustainability in the built environment
The Company has two investment holdings that are committed to building sustainable and affordable housing.
MultiGreen Properties
MultiGreen Properties is i(x)’s attainable and sustainable housing platform. The entity is a real estate operating company that was co-founded by Green Mesa Capital, a single-family office, and i(x) Net Zero, to engage in new construction multifamily housing. MultiGreen provides an opportunity to create economic growth and catalytic social impact in select housing supply-restrained markets where investors can achieve attractive returns.
Sustainable Living Innovations
Sustainable Living Innovations (SLI) seeks to improve the productivity and efficiency of residential apartment building construction while lowering operating expenses and reducing energy and water usage. SLI has built the world’s first Net Zero Energy high-rise apartment building in Seattle, Washington, completed in Summer 2022. Utilizing its proprietary, tech-enabled building technology system, SLI pre-manufactures panels with electrical wiring, plumbing, and mechanical equipment pre-installed that are then assembled on-site.
