Carbon projects are an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and deliver positive social benefits.
But despite the many advantages, one of the biggest challenges in implementing a project is securing upfront investment.
Watch this masterclass recording to learn all about how carbon projects are typically financed. Over three hours, we’ll cover how to forecast project revenues and calculate returns on investment, understanding the different types of capital and financing instruments available to carbon projects, where investment typically comes from, and how project developers can structure investment in their projects. We’ll put this knowledge into practice through applied exercises exploring the challenges facing project developers. There’ll be lots of time to answer participant questions.
This masterclass was led by Kate Wharton, Managing Director, and Makari Krause, Associate Principal, at CrossBoundary Group. Kate and Makari bring substantial first-hand experience from fundraising for, and directly investing into, carbon activities in emerging markets. They are also authors of the recent Carbon Finance Playbook, a practical guide to navigating the carbon financing landscape. Don’t miss this chance to learn from two leading experts on carbon financing!
