Financing the Transition
How to enable the transition to low-carbon vehicles, new technology and infrastructure through innovative and pragmatic financing schemes, to keep the cost at acceptable level? What is the real cost of transition and how to create new financial scheme to reduce the price gaps?

The path to net zero emissions is narrow.
Accelerated delivery of international or European public finance will be critical to energy transitions, but ultimately the private sector will need to finance most of the extra investments required.
Mobilizing the capital for large-scale infrastructure calls for closer cooperation between corporate, developers, investors, public financial institutions and governments. Reducing risks for investors will be essential to ensure successful and affordable clean energy transitions.
The energy revolution to decarbonize the transportation of goods is likely to be particularly tricky and uncertain, as it will require considerable financial resources. The energy offer is highly diversified (biofuel, bio-methane, liquid or gaseous hydrogen, bio-methanol, green ammonia, etc.) and technically difficult to understand for the uninitiated.
In all cases, it will require heavy investment in CAPEX, worldwide, while optimizing OPEX to be able to provide enough and the right energy for the new energy mix to go to net zero.
What impact are we aiming for?
Re-balance the financial framework to unlock and secure investments linked to transport decarbonisation and energy choices:
Competitive new financing schemes (private,
public) that support performant business models
for heavy duty and complex energy production
industries and means of transport.
Illustration of the real costs of transition.
What are we creating?
“Insight sharing”: build a common platform of discussion for industry and banks.
Report on the cost of transition.
Develop and implement innovative and pragmatic financial models for technology development and scale-up, uplifting classic financing framework, guiding demand & cash flows, research financing.
What is our roadmap?
Kick-of at Summit.
Start study “the cost of transition” (RFP + roll-out).
Industry and banks need understanding & capture “low hanging fruit” (i.e. retrofit finance clauses).
Collective creation of innovative solutions.
Present learnings and recommendations at BEFF-Blue Economy and Finance Forum (prior to United Nations Ocean Conference).
Proof of concept.
