Portfolio Highlights
Noveon Magnetics (received), Canadian Shield Capital & Project Uncommon LP (provided) – $1,250,000
Magnet Recycling Venture
The magnet recycling process established with Project Uncommon will save 11 tonnes of carbon emissions for every tonne of NdFeB magnets, a key component in electric vehicles. [Now known as Noveon Magnetics]
This investment had strong alignment with TAF’s investment criteria as catalytic climate solution supporting a circular economy.
kite Mobility (received), Greater Montreal Climate Fund, Alberta EcoTrust, Good&Well, Enlightened Building Technologies (EBT) (provided) – $500,000
Mobility as a Service
kite Mobility has developed an electric mobility-as-an-amenity service that offers electric vehicles, ebikes, and scooters for rent on a centralized sharing. Their mobility-sharing solution can displace up to 10 parking spots per one shared electric vehicle, allowing developers to save millions in capital costs per project. The inclusion of kite as an amenity has shown to lessen time to market, reduce city traffic congestion, and materially reduce scope 1 and 3 GHG emissions, while improving housing affordability for residents by either lessening or eliminating the need for personal car ownership.
kite’s business model inherently reduces carbon emissions by accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), moving consumers away from traditional private car ownership to a sharing economy, and reducing the amount of infrastructure required or dedicated to private vehicle storage. This aligns with TAF’s investment focus towards acceleration of EV adoption and Net-Zero Construction.
Peak Power Energy – $1,000,000
Energy Use Optimization and Storage Company
TAF’s investment will provide capital to fund Peak Power’s development and scalability. Peak Power leads in behind-the-meter energy storage; building optimization; and vehicle to grid integration.
This investment had strong alignment with TAF’s investment criteria, provided an opportunity for portfolio diversification, and represents a decarbonization solution for both the building and transportation sectors.
