VOL 1 • Q1 2014 ENERTECH CAPITAL
“Thought Leadership in Energy Technology”
We are proud to officially launch the inaugural issue of
EnerTech Quarterly. This newsletter is our way of keeping
you informed about the activities in our portfolio companies
and communicating the major trends and opportunities in
the energy technology sector. We believe that an important
part of our role as a firm is to provide “thought leadership”
on the energy technology sector and keep you informed on
the progress of our companies and emerging new
technologies for investment in the fund.
We would like to highlight a number of positive news items
in our firm since the closing of the $120 million EnerTech
IV (ECP IV) fund in August, 2013, including:
The closing of four new investments in ECP IV:
N-Dimension Solutions (Cyber Security for critical
infrastructure)
Space-Time Insight (Big Data play around energy)
HPC Energy Services (Horizontal drilling technology
roll-up)
Distech Controls (Building Automation company)
We are in the process of closing three more investments:
A drilling fluids management company (clean-up of oil
based drilling muds)
A high efficiency chiller business (30% energy savings vs
traditional chillers)
and a geospatial data company focused on the electric
utility sector
Major investors in EnerTech IV include:
Alberta Enterprise Corporation
Business Development Bank of Canada
Export Development Canada
Family offices
GDF Suez
Hatch Ltd.
Newalta Corporation
Southern Ute Alternative Energy, LLC
Teralys Capital
Waste Management, Inc.
It was a tough fundraising environment and we thank our
LP’s for their strong support.
Our investment strategy continues to be focused broadly
on the energy sector, which we define as from the “Well
Head to the Wall Socket” and we seek investments that
provide economic payback through efficiency gains.
Our investment team continues to grow and we have just
added a new analyst, Angelica Mengana, in our Toronto
office. Angelica spent 6 years at Growth Works (a Canadian
venture fund) and we welcome her to the team. We now
have offices across Canada (Toronto, Montreal and Calgary)
with our main office in Philadelphia. Dominic Geraghty, our
Entrepreneur in Residence is located in Menlo Park, which
provides us greater access to new opportunities in the
Valley.
We are excited about the strength of our deal flow and
believe both the valuation metrics and improved IPO and
M&A market will provide us with better market
opportunities and eventual exits.

ENERTECH QUARTERLY
We held our EnerTech Forum and Annual Meeting in
Scottsdale, Arizona December 2-4, 2013 and had over 140
attendees. The meeting is designed as both a forum (Day 1)
and Annual Meeting (Day 2) where we bring together a
series of outside panelists and speakers and provide our
views on the energy technology sector.
The 2014 EnerTech Forum and Annual Meeting will be
held again this December 2-4, 2014 back in Scottsdale so
look for more information over the next few months.

The increase in investment activity is great news for early to
mid-stage growth companies, which can build on the
positive momentum and grow to their full potential.
Venture capital fundraising has also picked up significant
pace in Q1, 2014 (see fundraising highlights on page 5) and
EnerTech Capital stands to benefit from an improved co-
investor landscape, as access to larger pools of funds
improves.

ENERTECH QUARTERLY
EnerTech Capital has a number of strategic
investors, each one unique in its focus areas and
needs. As the technology and market landscapes change,
we work closely with our Strategic Investors to exchange
information on new leading edge technologies.
One such strategic relationship is with Newalta
Corporation, North America's leading provider of
innovative, engineered environmental solutions that enable
customers to reduce disposal, enhance recycling and
recover valuable resources from industrial residues. Its
proven processes, portfolio of
more than 250 operating
permits and excellent record
of safety make it the first
c h o i c e p r o v i d e r o f
susta inabi l ity enhancing
services to oil, natural gas,
petrochemical, refining, lead,
manufacturing and mining
markets.
Our EnerTech Capital location in Calgary is housed within
Newalta, enabling easy mutual access where EnerTech can
interact directly with Newalta’s Technical Development and
Commercial Development teams to vet new ideas and
technologies. EnerTech provides Newalta with a significant
additional window into energy and water technologies,
ranging from 600 to 800 deals per year. “Newalta truly
values our partnership with EnerTech,” said Cam
MacNaughton, Executive Director, Commercial
Development, Newalta. “There are tremendous synergies
that exist between our two organizations. We work closely
together to share information on technological trends, to
consider ways to partner with other strategic investors and
to evaluate new technologies of mutual interest that can
grow our businesses and provide strong returns on
investment.”
Together, we highlight the strengths and weaknesses of
leading companies for given technologies and identify their
commercial readiness. EnerTech builds on the exchange of
information and helps our partners identify potential
synergies and partnerships that create value, helping them
attain a market leading edge.
Focus Areas of Our Strategic Partnerships
There is some overlap between the focus areas of our
strategic investors. As energy use rises and the extraction
techniques become more water intensive and disruptive,
technologies that mitigate these problems are becoming
increasingly more important to many of them. Some of the
key technologies and solutions identified by our Strategic
Investors, revolve around heavy oil, water &
wastewater and waste management technologies and
include:
Innovative Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD)
technologies
Treatment of mature fine tailings (MFT) using
centrifugation technology
Engineered fluids and Waste Management solutions
Mobile waste water technologies
Innovative water processing/treatment
Improved water management
New uses for coke oven gas (COG)
Emerging waste conversion technologies
The underlying objectives across all of the above solutions
are the same – reducing cost, either by reducing the amount
of water, reducing the material or energy used, and
mitigating environmental problems.
The technologies are viewed as important drivers for
reducing life cycle costs and optimizing asset integrity. With
a deal flow of 600-800 deals per year, EnerTech is exposed
to many different companies that address these problems
and communicates information about them to our Strategic
partners when there are synergistic opportunities.
