Green Banking

The Green Banking project aims to support target groups in the development and implementation of green energy and climate finance throughout the entire banking value chain. Through the holistic trainings offered, professionals from the banking sector, project developers and policy makers will gain knowledge on financing renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.

To date, two project phases have been successfully implemented in Southeast Asia and Latin America. The 3rd phase of the project will run from 2024 to 2026.

The Green Banking project’s main goal is to enhance the skills and capabilities of personnel and institutions in the implementing partner countries for financing Renewable Energy (RE), Energy Efficiency (EE), Green Hydrogen, and storage projects. It also aims to establish sustainable capacity building programmes programs for banks, investors, and project developers in the partner countries.

The project has two priorities:

• Transfer knowledge on the technical and economic fundamentals of RE, EE, Green Hydrogen, and storage projects, along with their economic assessment, to increase investment and financing from development banks, commercial banks, private equity, venture capital, infrastructure funds, and institutional investors.
• Transfer knowledge and facilitate networking on accessing German and international climate change financing instruments, such as the Green Climate Fund, to enhance local financing opportunities for RE and EE by integrating international financing sources.
