On May 16, 2013 Masdar, the renewable energy company of the United Arab Emirates, and IFC signed a memorandum of agreement (MOU) by which the two parties will “explore opportunities for the development of large-scale projects including: carbon capture, use and storage; cleantech venture capital and private equity fund co-investment; solar desalination; and utility-scale solar and wind power projects. The newly-formed cooperative effort will investigate options for the IFC to finance up to $1.5 billion using financial products tailored to projects that may be developed by Masdar.”
