Public Equities.

We invest across global capital markets with a focus on identifying sectors and business models that have the potential for outsized economics from industrial decarbonization and growth in power demand. Our investment process seeks to harness a differentiated set of scientific source materials and underwrite investment ideas that can deliver returns that compound over multiple years.


Co-Investments.

Mercator works closely with research institutions, National Labs, associated industry networks and scientific founders in the launch of new ventures focused on innovative and differentiated pathways to decarbonization at the forefront of science.

Academic Partnerships.

We believe building an understanding of the pathways to decarbonize society globally requires a set of source references that extends beyond those traditionally deployed by public equity investors. The research and detailed analysis conducted within academia and across National Labs, provides a source of insight that Mercator has harnessed and championed since launch.

Mercator sponsors research across a number of institutions and has partnerships and connections which allow access to faculty in working on diligence and investment themes.

  • The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton is a multidisciplinary research and education center, whose singular mission is to develop technologies and solutions to accelerate a path to emissions reduction. A key focus of the center is to translate fundamental knowledge into practical solutions that enable sustainable energy production and the protection of the environment and global climate from energy-related anthropogenic change.
