18.5.2020 13:02:09 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
EIG Global Energy Partners (EIG) announced today the successful final close of EIG Global Project Fund V (GPF V or the Fund) with total commitments of $1.1 billion, nearly 50% higher than the Fund’s $750 million target. EIG also raised an additional $1.5 billion of commitments in the form of separately managed accounts that will invest alongside GPF V. In total, since the first closing of GPF V in July 2019, EIG has raised $2.6 billion of commitments for its direct lending strategy. GPF V is a continuation of EIG’s platform for energy and infrastructure direct lending that invests across the full energy, midstream, power, renewable energy and infrastructure complex on a global basis. More than 70% of the strategy’s capital commitments are from investors domiciled outside of the U.S., reflective of the global nature of EIG’s business.
EIG CEO R. Blair Thomas said, “We are pleased to close GPF V with continued support from our sophisticated global investor base. Our fundraising success in the current environment is a strong testament to our investors’ enduring trust in our ability to identify and execute on attractive opportunities across the global energy and infrastructure value chain. Capital is oxygen to the energy industry, and GPF V is poised to help meet the robust capital demand for energy and infrastructure projects. In a time of tremendous upheaval, our proven capital-raising and origination capabilities and our global platform position us well for the future.”
EIG President Randy Wade said, “GPF V allows EIG to build on our 20-year track record in direct lending. With demand for capital high and many traditional sources of capital retreating, the Fund is seeking opportunities in the global transition away from traditional hydrocarbons toward more sustainable energy production. We believe our specialized approach and disciplined underwriting with a focus on sector diversity should position us to continue to generate strong returns through market cycles.”
EIG’s placement agent for GPF V was Credit Suisse; Kirkland & Ellis served as legal counsel.

Pure Lithium Receives Australian Patent for "Lithium Metal Anode and Battery"6.8.2026 22:49:00 CEST | Press release
Pure Lithium Corporation, a vertically integrated next-generation lithium metal battery technology company, today announced that the Australian patent office has granted the company a patent (AU2025271196) titled “Lithium metal anode and battery.” Australia mines roughly half of the world’s lithium, yet has no domestic battery production at all; every battery the country uses is imported. The granted patent is directed to ways in which Pure Lithium’s technology can change that. Rather than trying to catch up in lithium-ion, Australia can leapfrog the incumbent technology and establish a next-generation industry. As worldwide demand for batteries grows, every country capable of making batteries needs to be making them. That is Pure Lithium’s central goal: opening up markets around the world through battery technology that enables local, independent supply chains, keeping pace with demand and strengthening economies. China controls the lithium-ion battery supply chain and manufactures th
