How can we unlock #finance for the energy transition? See thoughtful blog below by Atfy and Céline. My take is that business needs finance to invest in net zero #decarbonisation in the ‘real economy’. But banks are not investing materially in solutions to tackle 1.5 °C #overshoot, such as Carbon Dioxide Removals. Why the gap? Some banks use climate #scenarios based on 1.5 °C ‘low or no overshoot’ 2030 well meaning hopes, but Copernicus ECMWF shows this will likely be breached in 2033 (see https://lnkd.in/esXwv8b4). We must finance ‘net zero’ solutions to capture and store emissions NOW. Let’s close the investment gap and align business and banks to move the needle. Time for real economy action. #TransitionFinance #RealEconomy #CDR #CCS

Today, we are proud to announce that E-Distribuzione and the European Investment Bank (EIB) have signed the first 250 million euro tranche of a "Sustainability-Linked" loan, part of an agreement for a total of 500 million euros aimed at supporting climate resilience, digitalization and grid quality in Italy. 🌱 🌍 As presented during our Strategic Plan, between 2025 and 2027 we will invest 26 billion euros in networks, an increase of 40% compared with the previous Plan. In particular, in Italy we will invest more than 16 billion euros, and this agreement clearly demonstrates our commitment to accelerating investments in networks, which have a central role in fostering the energy transition. ⚡️  #EnelCMD24 #energytransition #sustainablefinance  Discover more 👇🏻

According to a recent FT article, Europe needs €800bn to meet 2030 climate targets. The European Round Table for Industry, an influential Brussels lobby group, said in a report published Tuesday that the EU targets of reducing and reaching net zero CO₂ emissions by 2050 "would require massive investments in power grids, energy storage and carbon capture facilities". What they failed to anlyse is the investment savings in cables and grid infraestructure should Europe hits its targets in energy efficiency and promotes a true European demand flexibility market. In same article, Kristian Ruby, secretary-general of Eurelectric said that what would “make the big difference in the overall investment picture was access to low-risk capital. “If we create the right de-risking instruments, they can play a huge role”. Here is the second biggest gap we are facing: blended finance vehicles and a sovereing green bond liquid european platform. We don´t need to reinvent the wheel, just peek over the atlantic to analyse what the USA is doing with IRA, DERMS and a well functioning capital market will suffice.
