In 2014, the Puma funds invested £5 million into the build-own-operate firm Chinook Urban Mining.

Specialising in developing projects in the Energy-from-Waste (“EfW”) sector, Chinook utilises pioneering gasification technology to generate electricity from the active pyrolysis of municipal solid waste.

In 2012, Chinook’s flagship project was identified in the London Thames Gateway Sustainable Industries Park. The Puma team considered the Chinook Management team to have a long and successful track record of working together with significant experience in the Renewable Energy sector, identifying development opportunities and bringing them to market.

We exited from Chinook when it successfully raised follow-on funding from another institution.
