Zeus Investments to launch algal-biofuels investment research unit

South Korean wealth-management firm Zeus Investments announced May 1 that it is set to establish a new research team focused on exploring investment opportunities in algal biofuels.

This initiative aligns with the firm’s commitment to environmental sustainability and its mission to drive positive change through responsible investing, the company said.

“Algal biofuels are gaining traction as a renewable energy source with significant potential to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change,” the company stated. “By establishing a specialized research team, Zeus Investments aims to identify promising investment opportunities within the sector, hoping to attract investment into innovative companies developing this highly effective alternative to fossil fuels.”

The newly formed research team consists of experts in renewable energy, financial analysis and environmental sustainability.

The team will assess the current market landscape, evaluate technological advancements and identify companies at the forefront of algal-biofuels development.

The goal is to help clients invest in high-potential ventures that contribute to a more sustainable energy future.

“We are excited to launch this new research team focused on algal-biofuels investment,” said Steven Michaels, co-founder at Zeus Investments.

“As the transition towards greener energy sources continues, our clients are increasingly expressing interest in investment opportunities that align with their positioning on this issue,” Michaels said. “By exploring the potential of algal biofuels, we aim to offer our clients a way to support sustainable energy solutions while achieving their financial objectives over the medium to long-term.”

In addition to internal research, Zeus Investments plans to collaborate with academic institutions and environmental organizations to gain a deeper understanding of the algal-biofuels market and its use in applications where electrification is ineffective such as in heavy shipping and aviation.

“Investing in sustainable energy is not only about supporting the environment, but also about recognizing the growth potential in emerging industries,” Michaels added. “Our research team will play a crucial role in identifying the most promising investment opportunities in algal biofuels, helping our clients make informed decisions that align with their sustainability aspirations.”
