Investments for a good climate
As an experienced, owner-managed company, we value flexibility, creativity and freedom of design when working with our global partnerships. Thereby we focus on maximum CO2 avoidance.
We not only offer financial backing, but also provide our partnerships with strategic and advisory support. Thanks to our many years of expertise and a clear focus on sustainable value creation, we are a reliable financial partner with a deep understanding of long-term investment strategies.
We check on an experienced, committed management team that shares our values. We build partnerships at eye level, based on trust and common goals.
Projects must make a measurable positive contribution to climate protection. We also give preference to projects that are rooted in the region or have a strong regional impact.
The project should utilise innovative, future-proof technologies or processes to develop sustainable solutions to existing problems.
We look for companies or technologies that have the potential to grow in the future and be expanded to other markets or regions.
Companies should either already be profitable or have a clear plan to achieve profitability.
We pay attention to fair conditions and an appropriate company valuation that reflects the company’s potential.
Measurable success is important to us. We therefore determine the potential greenhouse gas avoidance for each of our projects.
For us, impact investments are more than just sustainable investments. We want to achieve a measurable positive impact on the environment with every euro we invest. We always check: How much CO2 can we save through our projects per euro invested? In addition to economic viability, the result is the yardstick for the success of our work.

* SAXOVENT was involved in the development of these projects at various stages of project planning right up to operating the plants itself as an IPP (Independent Power Producer).
The expected energy generation from plants developed by SAXOVENT is estimated on the basis of their installed nominal capacity and an average number of full load hours, irrespective of SAXOVENT’s ownership share. The average household electricity consumption of one person was 1,613 kWh in 2022 (Eurostat).
The potentially avoided greenhouse gas emissions are calculated from the amount of electricity generated and the so-called “net avoidance factor”. This indicates how many CO2 equivalents – taking into account the upstream chains – are avoided by wind energy per kilowatt hour generated. The calculation is based on the report published by the Federal Environment Agency entitled “Emissions balance of renewable energy sources. Determination of avoided emissions in 2022”. The net avoidance factor is 758 g CO2-eq./kWh for the year 2022.
