Beyond its investments in renewable energy and sustainable protein, such as solar energy firm Sunseap Group and plant-based protein maker Impossible Foods, Temasek also aims to support companies that are developing transformative, eco-friendly solutions, and embracing sustainability at the core of their business models.
This includes technologies that make it possible to turn the Earth’s heat into clean energy, and solutions that can trap carbon emissions from factories.

To reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and reach net-zero emissions by 2050, global investments in clean energy must triple by the end of the decade, says the International Energy Agency (IEA), a Paris-based intergovernmental organisation.
To this end, Temasek has teamed up with asset manager BlackRock to launch a partnership called Decarbonization Partners with an initial US$600 million ($812m) fund. It focuses on investing in and advancing decarbonisation solutions.
