DISTRIBUTED INFRASTRUCTURE
The world’s most critical resources need better management. Agriculture, energy, waste, and water are all facing increasing demand, accelerating in scarcity, and facing rapid environmental change. This is creating crucial sustainability and resilience challenges around the globe. Technological innovation is simultaneously enabling new, more modular and efficient decentralized infrastructure to help alleviate these resource constraints in a more affordable, reliable and sustainable way.
These distributed infrastructure projects are creating solutions. They require an understanding of proven technologies that are not familiar to other capital sources. They require an understanding of the variability of the markets they operate in, and how to assess the creditworthiness of smaller counterparties.
As the global population grows and urbanizes, the demand for infrastructure grows with it.
Global Population and Middle Class Growth Are Driving Resource Scarcity
These critical resources are interlinked
Infrastructure is undergoing a radical transformation
Distributed smaller scale projects increase efficiency and reduce vulnerability to shocks that could otherwise devastate large centralized systems
