Energy
Corporate finance and strategy for the companies building a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
The Challenge
New energy technologies have to scale as companies and as projects
The energy system is being rebuilt around new technologies: batteries and storage, grid equipment and charging, renewable generation, low-carbon fuels and carbon management. Most of them have to prove the technology, build manufacturing capacity and finance their first commercial plants at the same time, often before long-term revenue contracts are in place.
That creates two financing problems at once. The company needs venture and growth capital, while each plant, storage asset or project needs debt and infrastructure capital that expects proven technology and predictable cash flows. Bridging the two, with grants and public funding alongside, is where many energy businesses stall.
What We Do
Financing both the company and the projects it builds
TFN works with founders, boards and investors across the energy transition, combining corporate finance and strategy. We plan the funding roadmap, raise equity and debt, structure first-of-a-kind and repeatable projects so they can be financed on their own, and advise on partnerships, acquisitions and market strategy.
Our Focus Areas
Six areas where we work most closely
Advanced batteries
Next-generation cells, anode and cathode materials and thermal batteries, moving from pilot lines to industrial-scale manufacturing.
Energy storage
Industrial heat storage and long-duration storage that let renewable power be used when and where it is needed.
Grid & charging infrastructure
EV charging, smart grid equipment, power electronics and grid resilience, plus the energy communities that share local power.
Renewable energy
Solar, tidal and offshore wind-wave generation, from new module technology to first commercial arrays.
Sustainable fuels
Green hydrogen, e-fuels, bio-oils and bioenergy that replace fossil fuels in industry and transport.
Carbon management
Carbon removal, direct air capture, gas separation, carbon utilisation and carbon credits.
