ABOUT PETRAAL S.A.
YOUR PARTNER FOR SECURING FINANCING FOR GREEN PROJECTS
We are a Luxembourg-based investment firm with a focus on assets and trading in the renewable energy sector. We dedicate our expertise of financial markets and private equity to net zero solutions that make Europe’s “Green Deal” happen. A successful implementation of green transition projects requires a bankable business model, for which we secure investments and non-standard financing solutions. We redefine financial structures and revenue streams for clean energy and infrastructure projects that frequently face challenges in sourcing sufficient funding. We leverage our extensive network of financing partners, primarily family-owned investors and strategic industrial partners. We actively engage in early-stage project development with our German partner, Birkap GmbH.
Our vision
We are convinced that a reliable resistant energy system based on green gases will be the future of a prosperous European Union, which meets its ambitious defossilization targets- Shifting the “Green Deal” from a plan to realities will ensure prosperity and stability in Europe as well as among its trade partners, and neighboring countries, which are connected through green projects.
Our MISSION
Without a “bankable” structure and the availability of equity investors even the most effective Greentech and decarbonization project will be stalled. With our financing approach, we take care that funding is allocated to non-standard projects of successful financing institutions to contribute to sustainable projects successfully.
Our VALUES
As European investors, rooted in a system of trust and lawfulness, we follow the highest ESG standards in line with our Code of Conduct. Furthermore, we transfer our standards in projects in third countries wherever we can. We believe, that these standards are the basis for long-term success and sustainable commercial viability.
OUR SCOPE
We accompany clean projects towards bankability
TRADING & OFF-TAKE AGREEMENTS
We support the physical transactions for businesses and help maintain the balance between the supply and demand of energy and products. We work on hedging solutions and arbitrage opportunities within the segments we operate in.
We engage with multiple parties, including initiators, procurement and construction contractors, feedstock suppliers, off-takers, potential investors, lenders, and specialized consultants. Our goal is to align them with the target financing schedule by integrating seamlessly into our partners’ network.
ASSETS & INVESTMENTS
We work on screening and evaluation of potential investments and divestments opportunities. We lead deal execution process (RFPs, due diligence, valuation, legal, deal closure and post deal monitoring and assessment). We coordinate the transaction evaluation and execution process through finance, legal, tax, risk and compliance frameworks. We construct, monitor, optimise, develop and implement strategic initiatives in relation to assets and investment portfolios.
FINANCING FOR PROJECTS
We make sure that the project is well structured to accept a wide range of external financial support, ranging from pure financial participations up to equal or even dominant equity source. We make sure the project is “bankable” and can reach a financial closure with high probability of success with various financial institutions.
We define the right mix of financing sources. This is by capitalizing on our relationships with investors, financing institutions and on our knowledge of financing and commercial terms in other transactions. We assist in developing structural solutions and establishing a constructive negotiations channel with potential investors and lenders with a view to reach optimal terms of financing.
