Conchubar

Established in 2001, Conchubar is a group of associated entities spanning infrastructure, investments related to energy, and climate, with an emphasis on emerging markets across Asia.

With deep empirical experience in such markets and projects, Conchubar provides a robust framework upon which its activities can succeed — matching the expectations of international parties and standards with the practical realities of on-the-ground work in emerging markets.

Our logo is based on the Asian philosophy of a cosmological trinity — heaven, earth and humanity — and the need for a harmonious balance amongst them.


Infrastructure

Conchubar supports infrastructure project development from origination to structuring to financing — spanning power as well as related sectors such as chemicals and data. Engagements are flexibly structured, ranging from advisory services to early-stage investment and development.

Past works range from one of Southeast Asia's largest waste gas power and credits projects, to large-scale petrochemicals plant optimization and development, to structuring a national-scale blue economy lattice for coastal communities and mangrove conservation across sites in South and Central Philippines.

We've assisted in the structuring and financing of a US$2.5 Billion naphtha cracker facility in Singapore for the state-of-the-art production of aromatics and fuels, displacing more polluting and inefficient legacy plants in the region.
We are leading the coordination of a programmatic blue economy project integrating mangrove conservation and restoration, sustainable local fishing, and ecotourism across several provinces in Mindanao and Visayas Philippines.

Example
We engaged with a Southeast Asia listco in their expansion strategy for the acquisition and operation of a portfolio of over 70MW of high FID PV solar in East Asia.

Investments

Conchubar has periodically launched private equity funds supporting national industrial policy-related infrastructure in emerging markets.

Conchubar was engaged in the development of one of Southeast Asia's largest multi-billion dollar chemicals plants — from development and financing through to operational completion and its successful restructuring to overcome unexpected macro instability that had roiled the global sector.

Both of Conchubar's funds have been fully invested and successfully concluded. At present, there is no planned launch of a third fund.

Conchubar's private equity funds have successfully raised, closed and exited investments in renewables, energy, and chemicals. Equity, in both its monetary and fairness definitions, could both be served by providing an orderly conduit for sustainability investment flows.
As a part of our capacity building, we have worked with the Ministry of Environment's International Green Technologies and Investment Center of Kazakhstan as independent board director for corporate governance and climate systems strategy oversight.

Example
With the vast wealth of agriwaste resources, we engage in the development and financing of biofuels and biomass power projects from rice-husk fired biomass projects in central Thailand to 2nd and 3rd generation biofuels projects in Southeast Asia.

Climate

Conchubar's climate practice has been a pioneer in carbon finance since 2001 — from its initial support of Bioassets' first Amazon REDD+ credits in Brazil, to its work in Asia CDM projects from India to China to Southeast Asia.

Conchubar has from its very roots interwoven financial and commercial performance with sustainability, economic development, and local community stakeholder engagement — including work with communities to revitalize sustainably deteriorated former palm plantation lands in Borneo.

The Group's climate activities are currently supported through Asia Renewables Conchubar Pte. Ltd. of Singapore.

Engaged with Yugra State University's Mukhrino Field Station in Khanty-Mansi, Western Siberia, examining the monitoring of carbon dynamics in the boreal taiga and peatland ecosystems.
Waste management is an increasingly pressing challenge in emerging economies, especially with respect to their impact on coastal communities. Our waste-water engagement customizes to range from industrial wastewater to municipal systems.

Example
We are engaged over several hundred thousand hectares of severely degraded former palm plantation lands in West Kalimantan, towards a community-linked structure which supplies commercially profitable biofuels and feedstock while revitalizing the land within sustainability metrics.

Joint Enterprises

Coordinating through its core dedicated team, Conchubar works closely with international and local partner enterprises across specialized technical sectors — including data centers, waste management, and industrial AI optimization.

Our members frequently speak and lecture at professional events and university academic conferences. We also engage in capacity building activities ranging from media events to working with indigenous groups for forestry conservation in Mexico.
