Investment thesis
Rusheen Capital Management invests in and helps build companies advancing resource efficiency and the reuse of waste streams as new resources. Its thesis centers on the belief that demand for technologies and business models delivering resource efficiency represents a major value-creation opportunity akin to a second industrial revolution. The firm targets two core approaches: reducing fossil energy and water consumption across industrial supply chains, electrical systems, and transportation, and reusing carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases, stranded energy, and wastewater as new resources. Focus sectors include carbon capture and utilization (converting CO2 emissions into value-added feedstocks), low-carbon energy to increase renewable production, and water sustainability through efficiency and reuse.
