Do you know where to look for financing to scale your energy technology?
The world wants clean energy. But the challenge is not just technological innovation. Often, the biggest obstacle is access to the right capital, at the right time and under the right conditions.
In a scenario of accelerated energy transition, multilateral institutions and climate funds have played a crucial role in channeling resources to projects with high potential for impact. But how can these international financing opportunities be accessed?
Brazil in the sights of global financiers
In recent years, Brazil has emerged as one of the most promising markets for the energy transition. The combination of a predominantly renewable energy matrix and a geography favorable to sources such as solar, wind and biomass creates an attractive environment for foreign investors.
In April 2024, the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) announced a new US$12.5 billion program focused on industrial decarbonization in emerging countries, including Brazil. Each country can access up to US$250 million in concessional loans – with the potential to leverage private investment by up to 12 times the initial value.
These resources are available for projects in areas such as green steel, low-carbon cement, advanced biofuels and carbon capture technologies – all sectors in which Brazil has the capacity to lead.
Financing that drives innovation
Another significant source of capital is the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which works in partnership with governments and the private sector to scale up climate mitigation solutions. The European Investment Bank (EIB), which has earmarked more than €90 billion for green projects in 2023, has signaled that Latin American countries with robust transition strategies will be prioritized in future calls.
At the regional level, Banco do Nordeste has also positioned itself as a relevant player. In 2023 alone, it allocated approximately R$250 million to renewable energy projects, prioritizing innovation and social impact. Estimates point to a reduction of 15.7 million tons of CO₂ over the next 30 years.
These mechanisms not only reduce the cost of capital, with extended terms and below-market interest rates, but also give institutional credibility to projects, making them more attractive for subsequent rounds of investment.
How do I access these resources?
The path to raising international funds begins with a well-structured project. This means aligning your proposal with climate impact guidelines, presenting clear performance metrics (environmental, social and governance KPIs) and building partnerships with recognized institutions. But above all, it is necessary to understand the capital flows, windows of opportunity and risk profiles that these funds are willing to take on.
In this process, having specialized consultancy makes all the difference.
