TRIREC Venture
Decarbonization is the name of the game. We maximize efforts on 4 decarbonization verticals namely Energy, Buildings, Mobility and Industries.
Fund Mandate
TRIREC’s investment mandate is centred on accelerating global decarbonization through scalable, technology-driven solutions. Across all three funds, we have focused on backing companies that sit at the intersection of climate impact and long-term commercial viability. Our investments span the Energy, Buildings, Mobility, and Industrial sectors, targeting the key systems that underpin the global transition to a low-carbon economy. While the climate-tech landscape has evolved significantly over the past decade, our core conviction has remained unchanged: that meaningful decarbonization requires both innovation and infrastructure at scale. Today, we continue to support technologies that strengthen energy systems, improve resource efficiency, and enable the industrial transformation required for a more resilient future.
Overview of Our Funds
Fund I – Climate-Tech 1.0 (2015)
Focused on foundational climate infrastructure, backing early innovations in solar, storage, and mobility across the U.S. and Southeast Asia as falling renewable energy costs accelerated electrification.
Key exits from this fund include Sunseap, Gazelle, and Xnergy, reflecting strong value creation across early climate technologies.
Fund II – Climate-Tech 1.5 (2022)
Shifted toward infrastructure-scale solutions, investing in technologies such as green hydrogen and carbon markets that could integrate with existing industrial systems and support large-scale decarbonization.
Fund III – Climate-Tech 2.0 (2025)
Expands into regional resilience and industrial transformation, targeting advanced materials, next-generation energy solutions, CCUS, and AI-enabled technologies to accelerate scalable deployment across Asia.
Our Portfolio
With the clarity of intent and purpose, we chase impact and deliver performance.
We maximize our efforts on decarbonization, investing in entrepreneurs whose exceptional innovations decarbonizes the world. Our support enables entrepreneurs to achieve what is better for planet Earth.

The Team
Advanced Materials
Immaterial
Super-adsorbent metal organic frameworks that break the cost/ performance trade-off capping carbon capture - and extend to hydrogen storage and gas separation. A structural, multi-market materials platform.
Baseload Energy
Type One Energy
Baseload, carbon-free, non-intermittent power - the scarcest asset in the transition. HTS magnets plus stellarator physics plus strong government backing: a high-barrier, asymmetric bet at the fields inflection point.
