Methane-capture projects: carbon finance can turn “dogs” into “cash cows” “Traditional” renewables: boost return by % –Makes some marginal deals bankable; –Creates a useful additional risk hedge for already profitable deals –Can displace ODA and Government subsidy in some projects Quantity of carbon finance is only half the story: The leverage of carbon finance on financial closure is disproportional to volume of carbon finance Impact of Carbon Finance: Quality and Quantity (at $3/t CO2e)
