Carbon Finance Funds
Climate Change Capital has been at the forefront of the carbon market, playing key roles in the design and implementation of the Kyoto mechanisms since their inception. The Carbon Finance group develops and manages funds that invest in companies and projects involved in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and has committed over €650m to carbon projects since 2005.
The Carbon Finance group currently manages €750m focussed on the carbon and clean energy markets, the largest private sector carbon fund in the world. Investors include some of the world’s largest pension funds, making Climate Change Capital’s carbon funds extremely attractive counterparties from a credit perspective.
The Carbon Finance group has expertise in carbon finance, project finance, private equity, power project development, portfolio management, environmental and technical consulting and policy and includes a dedicated legal team. The group’s expertise and investment strategy provides a greater degree of flexibility and speed than most other carbon buyers.
From our core geographic regions of Europe, China and the US, the team makes investments in China, India, South East Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, the Former Soviet Union and the US. Transaction types include equity investment, upfront financing through carbon purchase agreements or pay-on-delivery carbon purchases. Many transactions involve the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) or Joint Implementation (JI) Kyoto mechanisms as the catalyst for investment in clean energy and emission reductions.
