Merger creates one of the world’s largest climate-focused companies dedicated to rapid deployment of carbon reduction projects and services
February 23, 2022 – Bluesource, LLC (“Bluesource”), the largest carbon credit developer in North America, and Element Markets, LLC (“Element Markets”), a leading renewable natural gas marketing and environmental commodities company, today announced that they are merging to form a combined entity under majority ownership by TPG Rise, a global impact investing platform managed by alternative asset firm TPG. TPG Rise’s investment comes through a significant new commitment from TPG Rise Climate and additional investment from The Rise Fund following its acquisition of Element Markets in January 2021.
