This research updates last year’s report entitled, “Clean Energy IPOs and SPAC Combinations” published in August of 2020. While investments in “energy transition,” “clean energy” or with an “ESG focus” appear in the financial press almost daily, we are particularly focused on both “macro-themes” and the ways in which those themes may result in the creation of new public companies. Since that research was published in August of 2020, new public companies in the energy transition sector have emerged in two ways: traditional IPOs and DeSPAC business combination transactions, with the latter outpacing the former by a wide margin.
