Investment Focus

Codex Acquisitions is targeting investments in the clean and renewable energy sector, with a particular focus on  wind and solar generation assets.



The Company believes there is a significant opportunity to invest in businesses that are positioned to take advantage of the structural change arising from global decarbonisation and sustainability goals, resulting in the continuing shift away from carbon intensive forms of electricity generation and towards more clean and renewable carbon neutral generation capacity.

Why Clean Energy Investments?

The world’s current greenhouse gas emissions trajectory could result in dangerous and costly climate change impacts, both societally and economically.

Development of renewable energy sources is an essential tool that works within a market economy to change energy sources and reduce emissions at scale in order to avoid the worst damages of climate change.
