Taranis

Taranis functions as the investment and asset management arm of the Perenco Group, strategically deploying capital across multiple specialized funds. With a diversified portfolio approach, the firm has established itself as a significant player in energy transition financing, particularly through its dedicated investment vehicles that address different aspects of the evolving global energy landscape. The company leverages Perenco's extensive industry experience to identify and capitalize on opportunities that balance financial returns with environmental considerations.

The firm's Taranis Energy for Africa fund demonstrates its commitment to addressing energy access challenges across the African continent. This investment vehicle focuses specifically on power generation and renewable energy projects, aiming to bridge critical infrastructure gaps while supporting sustainable development goals. By financing both traditional and renewable energy solutions, Taranis takes a pragmatic approach to improving electricity access in underserved markets while gradually facilitating the transition toward cleaner energy sources.

Innovation in carbon management represents another core focus area through the Taranis Carbon Ventures fund. This investment vehicle targets early-stage technology companies developing solutions for carbon circularity, including carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies. The fund's portfolio includes promising startups working on breakthrough approaches to reduce emissions and create value from captured carbon. Additionally, the Taranis Decommissioning fund serves a more specialized purpose, investing across multiple asset classes to pre-finance future decommissioning obligations for Perenco Group's energy infrastructure, ensuring responsible end-of-life management.

Complementing its technological and infrastructure investments, Taranis has established a dedicated Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) investment program that operates across Perenco's geographic footprint. This initiative focuses on preserving and enhancing natural carbon sinks through projects like reforestation, sustainable land management, and ecosystem restoration. By investing in these natural climate solutions, Taranis Nature-Based Solutions aims to generate verifiable carbon credits while delivering additional environmental and social benefits to local communities. This holistic approach to investment demonstrates Taranis's recognition that addressing climate challenges requires both technological innovation and natural ecosystem preservation.
