Offering Sustainable Value Creation

Our company is dedicated to nurturing early-stage innovations, empowering our investments to achieve technical validation, and paving the way to commercial success.

Our strategy is straightforward: we invest in nascent renewable technologies and shepherd our investments through critical development stages, supporting the achievement of both technical and commercial milestones. This process includes key value drivers such as technical validation through to Front-End-Engineering-Design completion, securing offtake and feedstock supply agreements, and managing the site selection, permitting and EPC contracting process. Our goal is to prepare our ventures for significant growth, while also ensuring they are primed for larger capital funding rounds.

At Abundia Financial, we collaborate with founders in the renewable energy space to scale solutions that infuse our investments with practicality and resilience. Our objective is to expedite the development of technologies that promise a sustainable future while achieving measurable and immediate economic benefits. Our commitment to the energy transition is unwavering, as we dedicate ourselves to transforming ambition and capital into tangible, profitable, and environmentally responsible advancements.

We are proud to have deployed over $50 million in capital to fuel the growth and innovation of our portfolio companies. Key investments include:

AGIG is on a mission to transition the world into a decarbonized future by turning biomass and plastic wastes into high grade renewable fuels, energy and chemical commodities, including Diesel, Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Green Hydrogen, Bio-Naphtha and Solvents.
