Peter Kelly

I've worked at the intersection of business and the environment for seven years, first as an analyst of climate and energy policy and the carbon markets, and now as an impact investor.

Outside of work I enjoy learning to play bridge, rock climb, and write code.

More about my work

At Imprint Capital I make investments that are good for the environment as well as profitable, on behalf of a wide variety of socially-minded clients (foundations, financial institutions, and family offices).

I've worked on deals in renewable energy infrastructure, energy efficiency project finance, forest and farmland management, and cleantech venture capital. They are both equity and debt, direct and indirect.

Investments vary in how they balance environmental impact and financial performance, but you would be surprised at how often the dual goals of impact and profit benefit each other.

Prior to Imprint I worked for four years in climate change consulting and the carbon market, mostly in roles where I analyzed policy or advised on projects that were trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

You can see some of my older work below:

• an avoided deforestation project I audited.
• a prototype of a search engine for clothing, called Clothesliner.
• a report to the Western Climate Initiative, which helped California, Oregon, and other states decide what project types should count as legal carbon offsets.
• a presentation to the Oregon Global Warming Commission about Oregon's forests.
• a report about the carbon benefit of managing forest wildfires.
