We will seek to identify, through the experience and expertise of our management team and board of directors, a business that aims to contribute towards the mission of shifting the world away from carbon dependency and facilitating a greener future. We plan to target our search for businesses – for either an acquisition or a business combination – in these sectors: power, transportation, buildings and building construction, and industry.
