Temasek launches investment firm to quicken global decarbonisation

GenZero will focus on decarbonisation solutions to deploy long-term capital.

With the urgent need to resolve the climate crisis, Temasek launched GenZero, an investment firm aimed at boosting decarbonisation solutions worldwide.

GenZero, a wholly-owned investment platform firm, aims to focus on decarbonisation solutions with its ability to deploy flexible and long-term capital.

“It invests in opportunities ranging from early-stage companies and solutions that require patient capital to commercialise and grow, to more mature ones that are ready to scale,” read the statement from Temasek.

The newly launched firm will focus on investment in “technology-based solutions that deliver deep decarbonisation impact through climate-driven technologies, nature-based solutions that help protect and restore our natural ecosystems to generate climate impact while benefiting local communities and biodiversity, and carbon ecosystem enablers which refer to companies and solutions that support the development of an effective, efficient, and credible carbon ecosystem.”

Also, GenZero will be managed by its designated CEO, Frederick Teo, who is also the managing director of sustainable solutions at Temasek International. Teo, who has almost 12 years of leadership positions in Temasek, will assume the CEO post on 1 July 2022.

decarbonisation journey

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
