K - DEVELOPMENT

At the frontier of market disruption is where opportunities unfold.

About Us

VISION

Since the Industrial Revolution, failure to keep up with current trends has often jeopardized business survival. Just look at those who missed out on – and those who benefited greatly from moving from horsepower to machinery. We believe, that the time when companies (or countries) that do not transition to sustainable economy models will suffer ample losses of influence and value, is upon us.

​

 The direction is clear, the future will be low-carbon. Worldwide, governments are stepping up decisively, introducing effective long-term incentives and restrictions shaping the markets. This causes disruptions, costs and uncertainties but also brings benefits and opportunities. With forward-looking analytics, we aim to anticipate market developments and identify those opportunities, creating better returns – and looking after the world we live in.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

RISK ADJUSTED INVESTMENTS

There are various renewable sources of energy such as wind, hydropower, solar, geothermal, and bioenergy. The increasing developments in the technology are resulting in the decline costs of the renewable energy and the increasing competitiveness of the battery storage systems is positively impacting the growth of the renewable energy market. It is estimated that around 7% of the global energy demand is fulfilled by the renewable energy sources, currently. This share is expected to increase significantly in the forthcoming future. The global renewable energy market size was estimated at US$ 970 billion in 2022 and is expected to hit over US$ 2182.99 billion by 2032 with a registered CAGR of 8.50% from 2023 to 2032.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES, EMERGING MARKETS

We are in the midst of a technological revolution and emerging markets will be central to this both in terms of innovation, and as beneficiaries. By 2030, it is estimated that two-thirds of the global population will reside in cities. Smart cities, sustainable transportation, and efficient logistics networks will be critical for economic competitiveness. Emerging markets are increasingly becoming hubs for technological innovation and entrepreneurship. Moreover, the adoption of digital technologies, such smart grids and AI applications, have the potential to surpass warranted solutions and drive more inclusive growth, with accompanying wealth effects.

TRANSITION INVESTING

Structural shifts associated with the low-carbon transition – technological innovation, consumer and investor preferences for lower-carbon products, and shifts in government policies – are reshaping production and consumption. The Industrials sector is at the forefront as it consumes high amounts of energy and makes many unsustainable products, followed by Energy itself, and then Materials.

ABOUT US

Some solutions are clear, such as renewable energy, the electrification of transport, and a reduction of loss and waste. Other solutions are still in early development, such as negative emission technologies, or are simply as yet unknown. The net zero transition will require the best of human ingenuity and will pose serious challenges to ‘business as usual’.

 

More fundamentally, a net zero economy can only be achieved if we all work together: investors, trade and industry, governments and consumers. Our ambition for net zero depends on everyone playing their part.

 

At K – Development we are confident  that together we can rise to the challenge. We nurture a culture in which new ideas are welcomed and encouraged. We analyse facts and data as we believe every investment decision should be research-based. Promoting climate-aligned investing, we collaborate with clients, peers, standard setters and relevant stakeholders in different industries. We constantly grow and expand our offering of climate-aligned investment solutions while actively assisting those in transition.
