LOW CARBON ACCELERATOR

Ich möchte hier einen äußerst interessanten Nebenwert vorstellen, auf den ich bei meiner Schmack-Recherche und der Jagd nach weiteren Biogasaktien gestoßen bin.

Es handelt sich um die erste Beteiligungs-AG die rein ausschließlich in vielversprechende, noch nicht börsennotierte Unternehmen der erneuerbaren Energien investiert.

Der Wert hatte erst im Oktober 2006 sein Börsendebut an der Londoner Stockexchange. Seit dem hat er eher ein Dornröschen-Dasein geführt - dies wird sich aber sehr schnell ändern, sobald die ersten Start-UPs von LCA an die Börse gebracht werden bzw. die Unternehmen starke Wachstumszahlen hervorbringen.

Das Management ist handverlesen, es wurde der nicht gerade geringe Betrag von 66 Millionen euro eingesammelt - im Hintergrund arbeitet man mit der ABN Amro zusammen.

Über dieses Investment ist man gleich vorbörslich an einer Reihe aussichtsreicher Unternehmen beteiligt, die allesamt am einläuten der Energien-Zeitenwende mitarbeiten.

Das mag sich jetzt etwas zu ergriffen anhören - aber meine ehrliche Meinung ist: Wenn man jemals von einem neuen Pardigma sprechen konnte(aus Sicht eines Anlegers) dann ist es die weltweite Megatransfusion vom Fossilen-Zeitalter in das regenerative Zeitalter!

Der Trend hat ja auch schon seit einigen Jahren begonnen und der Kampf gegen die Klimaerwärmung wird m.E. unser gesamtes Jahrhundert bestimmen.

Das es teilweise aber schon (fast) zu spät ist - macht diese Entwicklung nicht nur unausweichlich - sondern es ist für jeden heute zu einer moralischen Verpflichtung geworden, die Welt für uns und kommende Generation lebenswert zu erhalten.

About Low Carbon Accelerator

Low Carbon Accelerator is a closed-ended investment company listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange (AIM) which was launched in October 2006, raising gross proceeds of £44.5 million. Low Carbon Accelerator invests in a diverse portfolio of unquoted private companies providing low carbon products and services which deliver immediate reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.

Low Carbon Accelerator’s investment focus is on buildings and building products; green fuels; energy generation and energy efficiency. Low Carbon Accelerator is managed by Low Carbon Initiative Ltd.

Low Carbon Initiative comprises an experienced management and advisory team with strong sector knowledge, track record and networks. The management team of Low Carbon Initiative have spent the last two years building a pipeline of over 50 pre-qualified investee companies.
Current concentrations of carbon dioxide are already at 382 parts per million with 100 parts per million already emitted but yet to reach the troposphere. To achieve stabilization at 500 parts per million, the critical time period for action is 2005 - 2015.

The one way to effectively and immediately row back on climate change is to scale up already existing CO2 reduction solutions.

Over the last ten years a set of technologies and business solutions have been developed by strong management teams in UK, Europe and beyond, which address the need for sharp reductions in CO2 emissions. Many of these businesses have now cracked their technology and are ready to scale up very quickly.

A number of such businesses can benefit from a specialized fund with experienced management while institutional investors can benefit from a specialized fund that provides them exposure to a group of fast growing private companies.

Low Carbon Accelerator will use the net proceeds of its IPO to invest in a portfolio of at least 20 private businesses over a 12-15 month period from admission. The fund has a target IRR of 30%.

uups--das ging aber schnell
mich erreichte eben die erste Mail, wo man denn kaufen kann?

das ist jetzt leider ein kleiner Wermutstropfen ---momentan nur in London---LCA ist zwar auch in Berlin-Bremen gelistet, aber dort gibt es (bisher) nie Umsatz...

Ich denke wer heute in London kauft - wird zu einem späterne Zeitpunkt die Stücke auch in Deutschland handeln können!

Investment Update: Energy Cabin GmbH

Low Carbon Accelerator Limited ("the Company" or "LCA") has announced that it
has made an investment of €2,000,000 in Energy Cabin GmbH for a 23% equity
stake. LCA has committed to invest a further €2,000,000 in two tranches, subject
to the achievement of certain commercial and operational milestones, over the
next 12 months. This further investment will take LCA's total equity stake to
40%. However, on achievement of 2008 profit milestones, LCA will return to
remaining shareholders 4% of voting and dividend rights. In addition, in the
event of over-performance against 2009 milestones, LCA will return up to 5% of
voting and dividend rights to remaining shareholders.

Energy Cabin is a multi-award winning, Austrian-based manufacturer and supplier
of free-standing, integrated heating systems that combine solar-thermal panels
with biomass fired boilers to deliver carbon-neutral central heating for
domestic, commercial and public application, greatly reducing reliance on fossil
fuels for domestic and commercial heating.

The pre-commissioned units are easily connected to existing hot water and
heating systems (e.g. radiators, under floor heating etc.) either replacing or
supplementing the traditional boiler. Existing customers include hotels,
residential homes, schools, industrial premises, business parks, housing
developers and private home-owners including groups of buildings connected to a
shared 'heating grid'.

Typical payback times on the system are 4 to 5 years, with the solar thermal
system providing 'free' hot water for up to six months of the year. The
smokeless pellet boiler operates at 92% efficiency and the unit incorporates a
sophisticated remotely monitored control system.

So far, over 77 Energy Cabin units have been installed successfully in locations
throughout the EU, providing clean, efficient central heating and hot water to
domestic and commercial premises. In addition the business supplies solar-only
and solar cooling cabins as part of an expanding product range.

The business has seen significant growth since it was founded and there is
strong demand for its products both in the local market and more widely in
Europe. Sales have grown from €500k in 2005 to €2.8million in 2006 with sales
teams established in four major European countries.

The investment from LCA will help Energy Cabin develop partner relationships and
subsidiary sales operations within Europe and overseas, as well as help broaden
the product range.

Barney Rhys Jones, Investment Officer at Low Carbon Initiative, LCA's investment
manager said: "There is a large and growing demand for low-cost, low-carbon,
independent energy supplies in domestic, commercial and public buildings. Energy
Cabin provides the best-in-class technologies for this and has first-mover
advantage in this market. This is a business model which can scale up quickly,
providing buyers with a standardised, plug and play answer to their hot water
and heating needs. We are particularly interested in the impact this product
will have in the house building sector."

Karl Heinz Lesch, CEO of Energy Cabin, said: "We have seen strong, steady growth
over the past two years with sales in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and the
Nordic regions and we look forward to using this investment to drive further
growth and product development."

About Low Carbon Accelerator
Low Carbon Accelerator Limited is a closed ended investment company created to
invest in a portfolio of fast-growing low carbon businesses. The Company listed
on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange on 11 October 2006, raising £44.5
million.

The Company's investment objective is to provide shareholders with an attractive
return on their investment primarily through significant minority (predominately
25% and above) holdings in a diverse portfolio of unquoted private companies
providing low carbon products and services.

The Company will initially invest principally in companies based in the UK,
Europe and the US, which provide low carbon products and services across the
following sectors:

- Buildings (sustainable building materials, heating, lighting, clean air and
water technologies for industrial, commercial and/or residential use)
- Fuels (bio-fuels, low carbon fuels, catalysts and additives)
- Energy efficiency (reductions in energy inputs at source, improved conversion
and reductions at point of use)
- Energy generation (sustainable and clean energy, micro and distributed
generation)

The Company's investment strategy is to target trading businesses with
patentable technologies and products with a clear commercial application and the
opportunity to gain a large market share of a new or expanding market. The
Company focuses on businesses with experienced management teams who have
developed commercially viable products providing easily adoptable solutions
which deliver immediate reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. Low Carbon
Initiative Limited, the Company's investment manager, anticipates that the
Company should be fully invested (or committed to be invested) within 12 to 15
months of the Company's admission to AIM.

The Company has made nine investments to date, including Energy Cabin, totalling
£15.53 million with follow on rights to invest up to a further £3.00 million,
subject to the achievement of milestones.

Tut das Not, daß du den Arques-Link mit dem Müll zuschüttest?

Viele denke das Geschäftsmodell bei Arques könnte auf wackeligen Beinen stehen und da kommt Pokerking daher und emphielt nen Wert, der zusätzlich zum Geschäftsmodell noch in einer wackeligen Branche versucht zu restrukturieren.
der Kurs sagt ja auch alles, meine ich.

Mach bitte nen eigene Link auf.
Ich schreib ja auch nicht in nen VW-TForum nen Lufthansa-Thread auf, nur weil beide Menschen befördern...
