Invest in Green Energy
Invest in a portfolio to help transition to renewable energy sources by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through clean energy production.
“If aliens did visit us, I'd be embarrassed to tell them we still dig up fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy.”
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
Challenges
Energy comes from a variety of sources which can be categorized as renewable and non-renewable. Non-renewable energy sources are mined or extracted from Earth and have a limited supply, so they cannot be replenished for millions of years once they run out. One of the non-renewable energy sources is fossil fuels, which heavily contribute to the climate crisis emitting significant amount of greenhouse gases when burned. Fossil fuels are utilized in numerous ways, including in various industrial process, transportation and burned for energy. The combustion of fossil fuels also releases air pollutants that harm the environment and human health.
Renewable energy sources (also called clean energy sources) are naturally replenished, and in general, their supply is unlimited. Significant of renewable energy sources include wind, solar, hydro, geothermal and biomass. Their carbon footprint is minimal and, in general, much better for the environment. The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is widely considered one of the main solutions to mitigate the climate crisis.

Investing in Renewable Energy with FLIT
Why Invest in Green Energy?
Over recent years there has been an investment shift away from fossil fuels to green energy. This is not only driven by public demand for a lower carbon footprint, but also by declining costs of renewable energy technology, innovations in electric battery capabilities, governmental policy shifts. Over the long-term, we believe favorable changes in public opinion and economic fundamentals are likely to further benefit the industry. The size of the green energy market is estimated to reach $2 trillion by 2025 and has the potential to meet 80% of all energy demand growth over the next 10 years.
