Energy Real Estate

 

Overview

AMCI HOLDING aims to be especially active in oil and gas.
We pursue lower-to-moderate risk investment opportunitiespredominantly in oil and natural gas assets, which may include oil and gas working interests; minerals and royalties; and opportunistic financings, structured either through asset-level investments or through structured investments in businesses owning these interests and/or related assets.

Our Approach
  • Combine creative and customized structures with financial discipline and a strong focus on risk management in an effort to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns throughout cycles;
  • Focuse on direct ownership and investing based upon asset value rather than going-concern values, which is more typical in traditional energy private equity;
  • Operating and partnering like an oil and gas company given our financial expertise and capabilities to manage assets;
  • Employing a flexible investment mandate to match the appropriate asset type and investment structure based on evolving macro and market environments;
  • Helping oil and gas operators to access financing.

REACH

The European Union regulation known as REACH – Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals – places responsibility on industry to demonstrate the safety of its products throughout the supply chain.

The European Union (EU) regulation known as REACH—Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (EC No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006)—places responsibility on industry to demonstrate the safety of its products throughout the supply chain. This is the EU’s regulatory framework for the management of Chemicals. The European Chemicals Agency has day to day oversight and management of the REACH requirements.

The primary purpose is to provide a high level of protection to human health and the environment through a single EU regulatory system.

Components include:

  • Registration: Under REACH, manufacturers and importers of chemicals in volumes of one ton or more per year have to register them at European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki, submitting a large dossier with information on, for example, hazardous properties, animal testing results, uses and safe ways of handling them. Following registration, evaluation takes place through a consultation process involving the member states and, depending on the outcome, restrictions on the use of the substance may be formulated. For certain substances, a ban from the market may result unless an authorisation for certain uses has been granted.
  • Providing Material Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Manufacturers, importers and distributors are obliged to provide a SDS to the recipient of the substance or product. The REACH regulation specifies into detail how this should be done.
