Buckeye Partners, L.P. has announced that it is launching BAES Infrastructure, a diversified energy company that will focus on the development, construction, and operation of energy transition projects. BAES Infrastructure will pursue new energy transition-related opportunities, with its seed assets being Swift Current Energy, OneH2, Bear Head Energy, a low carbon hydrogen and ammonia project under development in South Texas, and other advanced-stage solar development projects.
“The launch of BAES Infrastructure represents another step in our energy transition strategy, reinforcing our commitment to investing in growth that aligns with our customers’ current and evolving needs, while facilitating the decarbonisation of the broader economy,” said Buckeye CEO Todd Russo. “This new company will allow us to leverage existing and new relationships and focus on investment and development activity in the energy transition space without compromising our focus on safely and reliably operating our critical petroleum products infrastructure.”
BAES Infrastructure will be led by Jamie Cemm as CEO. Mr. Cemm is the former Chair of Buckeye’s Board of Directors (2019-2023) and has led the strategy to expand Buckeye’s business model into a diversified energy infrastructure business. BAES Infrastructure is an extension of that strategy. Mr. Cemm will be joined by a specialised global team with deep multi-disciplinary experience bringing together elements of development, finance, engineering, and investment.
