In April, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners launched a new fund named CI Advanced Bioenergy Fund I focusing on investments in biogas.

So far, two Danish and two Swedish pension funds have invested in the fund, but there is also interest further from Scandinavia, writes Danish trade media Landbrugsavisen.

”We’re seeing interest from investors in Germany, North American and South Korea. We’re planning on raising a total of EUR 1bn and have raised EUR 400m so far,” says partner and head of advanced bioenergy at CIP Thomas Dalsgaard to Landbrugsavisen.

Current investors are PensionDanmark and Industriens Pension in Denmark and Andra AP-fonden (AP2) and Fjärde AP-fonden (AP4) in Sweden.

The fund will focus on equity investments in bioenergy infrastructure in Europe and North America.
