Grey Rock Partner on Where PE is Deploying Capital in Low-Carbon – CSF 2026 Speaker Preview

Описание: Ahead of the 2026 Carbon Solutions Forum in San Diego, CA, Suhrid Mantravadi, Partner at Grey Rock Investment Partners, joins Energy Dialogues for an in-depth speaker interview.

Suhrid sat down with Will Bernholz to discuss where private equity capital is actually flowing in low-carbon infrastructure and what separates deals that get funded from those that don't. With over a billion dollars in assets under management focused on energy transition, he shares what Grey Rock is seeing across their portfolio, from carbon capture projects to geothermal power targeting hyperscalers.

He discusses:
How "everyone right now is a data center investor by proxy" and how hyperscalers' net-zero commitments may impact demand for zero-carbon, 24/7 baseload power
Why Grey Rock sees geothermal as a major opportunity, potentially unlocking gigawatts of clean firm energy in the US West
How smaller carbon capture projects are getting permitted and built fast, while larger pipeline-dependent projects struggle
What makes a deal "fundable": credible offtake, proven technology, manageable scope, and a clear exit path
Which low carbon pathways are being deprioritized in today's market

This interview is part of the Energy Dialogues Speaker Series and our ongoing work to engage early with leaders shaping the conversations at the Carbon Solutions Forum. These previews help frame the issues that will define the dialogue on stage and beyond.
