About CRIS

Climate Real Impact Solutions (“CRIS”) was founded to capitalize on the significant investment and strategic opportunities created by the transformation of the global energy and infrastructure landscape. Led by a team of experienced energy, infrastructure, investment and operating executives, CRIS brings together deep sector expertise, extensive industry relationships and decades of experience investing in, advising and building businesses across these sectors.

The CRIS platform is built around three complementary pillars: advisory, principal investing and sponsored vehicles. Together, these capabilities allow CRIS to work with companies and investors across the lifecycle of an opportunity—from identifying and evaluating investments, to providing independent strategic advice, to deploying capital and accessing the public markets.

Advisory

CRIS serves as an independent strategic and financial advisor to companies, investors and other stakeholders navigating the rapidly evolving energy and infrastructure landscape. Drawing on the team’s extensive transaction, investment and operating experience, CRIS advises on strategic alternatives, M&A, capital formation and other complex situations where sector knowledge, senior-level judgment and independent advice are critical.

Principal Investing

CRIS invests its own capital alongside partners in opportunities where its industry expertise, relationships and strategic perspective can help identify and create differentiated value. The firm focuses on businesses and assets positioned to benefit from long-term structural trends across power, energy infrastructure, digital infrastructure and the broader energy transition, with an emphasis on generating attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Sponsored Vehicles

CRIS sponsors investment vehicles designed to provide high-quality companies with access to the public markets, capital and strategic support. The CRIS SPAC platform has included three publicly listed vehicles, bringing together energy, investment and operating expertise to partner with businesses positioned for long-term growth.

Across its sponsored vehicles, CRIS combines capital with sector expertise, transaction experience and an understanding of what it takes to build and scale businesses in competitive, rapidly growing markets.

Our Perspective

The foundation underlying the CRIS platform is the conviction that changes underway across the global energy landscape represent both an economic imperative and a generational investment opportunity. Meeting the world’s growing energy needs while remaining mindful of environmental impact will require capital, innovation and collaboration across the public and private sectors.

 Growing power demand, technological change and evolving requirements for reliability and energy security are creating significant opportunities across the energy and infrastructure value chain. Addressing these needs will require substantial investment in power, energy and digital infrastructure, and emerging technologies, creating a compelling environment for companies and investors positioned to navigate these changes.

CRIS was created to operate at the intersection of these forces.
