Report: The #EnergyTransition requires a massive and increased rate of investment from both the public and the private sectors 🌎 

In our 2024 Trends report, we explore what will shape the year ahead, focusing on the innovations and legal developments that we are seeing in clean hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, green fuels, carbon pricing, digital transformation, innovative finance and incentives to mobilise capital.

Jonathan Castelan, co-head of our Energy Transition initiative, comments: “The energy transition space is continuing to mature, and investors are becoming more comfortable with both public and private incentives. The combination of these two factors will spur global investment in energy transition projects. While there will be increased opportunities for investors, it will be important for them to ensure the success of their projects by staying apprised of the latest market trends and evolving incentive landscape."

Russell Wells, co-head of our Energy Transition initiative, comments: “Seeking out the right opportunities while navigating legal and regulatory hurdles is vital for businesses. Projects are advancing, funding is becoming available and innovative solutions are emerging, but the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and increased regulatory scrutiny will create some headwinds."

🚚 We've advised MEDLOG Transport & Logistics, the global logistics and supply chain provider, on its takeover of the operation of the iPort Rail multimodal freight terminal in Doncaster, UK. MEDLOG formally entered into a lease of Phase 1 of iPort Rail on 4 February, with the existing iPort Rail team remaining in place to ensure that the operation continues seamlessly in order to provide continuity for customers.

iPort’s developer Verdion is now commencing Phase 2 of iPort Rail which has been pre-let to MEDLOG. Phase 2 will double storage capacity at the terminal and increase the number of trains it can accommodate daily, providing extra capacity to continue the low-carbon movement of goods to existing iPort occupiers and businesses across the region.

Partner Ian Painter says: "It has been a pleasure working with the MEDLOG team on expanding their UK rail operations and to help bring the development and leasing of two phases of this strategically important freight terminal to fruition. The transaction highlights two areas of deep expertise for the Clifford Chance team – our real estate development and infrastructure investment capabilities – and emphasises our ability to operate multi-disciplinary teams seamlessly across practice areas with the deal requiring real estate, rail regulatory, planning and environment, construction, employment and intellectual property input."

Our team: Ian, Holly Porter, Katie Kempthorne, Gyasi Vialva-Husbands, Nigel Howorth, Ed Bretherton, Amber Miller, Alastair Windass, Alistair Green, Donald McCombie and Alex Walker.
