2024 may not be a standout year for export finance, but it has underscored the increasing significance of project finance in the sector. Nearly half of the year’s export finance activity has been driven by project finance, marking a notable shift alongside a sharp decline in sovereign financing—a trend likely to continue. Project finance has enabled ECAs to support innovative industries in developed markets. Companies like Northvolt, H2 Green Steel, and Baltic Power have secured backing for pioneering projects once deemed too risky. However, the recent bankruptcy of Northvolt, which left ECAs with significant exposure, underscores the challenges tied to these investments. Green industrial project financing is helping offset the reduction in major oil and gas projects. While ECAs previously supported large-scale fossil fuel initiatives, such as LNG facilities, these volumes have steadily decreased in recent years. New projects, like a petchem scheme in Malaysia, still receive support, but the spotlight is increasingly on energy transition assets. As this focus grows, addressing technology risk will remain crucial. With the EV gigafactory boom cooling, ECAs are exploring other low-carbon technologies, such as green hydrogen and small modular reactors. An example of this shift is Vulcan Energy’s zero-carbon lithium and renewable energy project, anticipated to close in early 2025. Looking ahead, further investment in green initiatives will be vital to sustaining activity, especially in Europe. ?? Subscribers can access more of TXF data here: https://lnkd.in/df7AsUpA ??

UK Export Finance (UKEF) and KUKE, the UK and Polish export credit agencies, have guaranteed a €249 million loan being arranged by Standard Chartered Bank for Turkish renewable energy investment company Kalyon Enerji, enabling the construction of Turkey’s second-largest solar project to date. This deal is expected to support UK jobs in the renewable-energy sector supply chain, particularly in the Midlands. The 390MWp project entails the construction and operation of solar power plants at seven separate sites, with aggregate power generating capacity of 390 MWp across the provinces of Bor-Nigde, Gaziantep and Sanliurfa-Viransehir. Upon completion, the project could generate enough renewable electricity to power over 65,000 households in Turkey annually. British exporter GE Vernova – via its subsidiary UK Grid Solutions Ltd – will supply and install inverter stations, power-plant controllers and other critical equipment. This is expected to directly support British jobs at GE Vernova’s Staffordshire site, as well as jobs in the wider UK supply chain. Polish exporters will deliver security systems (including both software and equipment) and steel components for the project. This is set to create jobs in manufacturing and logistics sectors.

NEW: The EU needs to spend €39 billion in public money every year to green its transport sector and maintain the continent’s competitiveness. Public support for EV social leasing, green fuels, batteries and charging infrastructure would help to unleash €271 billion a year in private spending up to 2030. The bulk of the investment (87%) in green transport tech will come from private investors, including manufacturers and banks. The €39 billion a year in public funding is less than the €42 billion that European governments give away in subsidies for petrol and diesel company cars every year. T&E calls for, among other things: 1??A €25 billion-backed EU battery fund to support European battery manufacturing, which is under intense pressure from China.? 2??Governments to deliver 2/3 of the funding needed to de-risk private investments in e-fuels for planes and ships, which are still in the early stages of development. 3??Halving funding for road building, which could save roughly €30 billion a year - enough to modernise Europe's energy grid.

Massive financing required for the global energy transition! Public financial institutions will need to play an outsized role in the global energy transition in view of its scale and nascent technologies. EDC was invited to participate in a gathering of ECAs and IFIs organized by Clifford Chance in Paris to discuss just this. With participants from around the world, Clifford Chance facilitated healthy discussions with respect to current trends, transactional insights and changing regulations. The mindset was a willingness for collaboration among the public institutions to crowd-in private capital as well as the role of blended financing. Some of my key take-aways from the conference were: ? A new willingness by end-users to change their historical procurement practices (i.e. from spot to long-term offtake agreements) as part of their decarbonization efforts. This is an important piece of the puzzle to help render large projects bankable and achieve FID (e.g. H2Green Steel). ??The refinancing of large energy transition projects once operational is an important step that enables project developers to recycle capital for new projects. Financial institutions need to be mindful of providing financing structures that don’t subsequently act as refinancing barriers. ??Public institutions need to be mindful of the entire value chain to render large renewable projects bankable. This can include credit enhancements of off-takers as well as having greater comfort with tail merchant risk, particularly when dealing in emerging markets. ??With respect to the green hydrogen sector, in addition to existing industrial demand centers (i.e. petrochem, fertilizer and chemicals), green steel and SAF are emerging as established use cases where more project FIDs are expected in the short to medium term. In 2023, EDC provided a record $12.2 billion in support for cleantech business (and 444 companies), a 39% increase from 2022. We saw increased demand for our direct lending, project finance and bonding solutions in various subsectors.

The Global Energy Transition and Its Implications for Trade Finance The move away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower is reshaping how goods are traded, financed, and managed globally. 1. Shift in Trade Patterns: Impact on Fossil Fuels and Renewables Countries traditionally reliant on exporting oil, coal, and gas are witnessing declining demand, while nations producing renewable energy technology and materials are seeing an uptick in exports. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), investments in clean energy will account for 70% of all energy-related investments by 2030. The global solar panel market, for instance, grew from $131 billion in 2018 to $223 billion in 2022, fueled by demand from Europe, North America, and Asia. 2. New Risks in Trade Finance for Fossil Fuel Projects Trade finance lenders are becoming cautious about financing oil, coal, and gas exports due to the long-term liabilities. According to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), over $500 billion worth of fossil fuel projects are at risk of becoming stranded assets by 2030 due to declining demand and changing policies. Trade institutions are responding by reallocating capital to greener projects. A report by Global Trade Review (GTR) noted that over 40% of trade finance banks have now included environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in their risk assessments, leading to a shift away from fossil fuel financing. 3. Financing Renewable Energy Projects: Opportunities for Trade Finance Financing renewable energy projects, including wind farms, solar parks, and hydroelectric plants, is now a growing area of focus for trade finance providers. The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) reported that $99 billion was invested in wind energy globally in 2022, and trade finance played a pivotal role in facilitating the import of turbines, blades, and related equipment. For instance, lithium, a key component in batteries, saw its trade value increase from $3 billion in 2015 to $9 billion in 2022. 4. Impact on Developing Markets: Energy Access and Infrastructure Financing Many emerging economies, particularly in Africa, are seeing increased investment in renewable energy infrastructure to meet rising energy demands and climate commitments. In 2022, $21 billion in trade finance was allocated to renewable energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, with solar energy projects. For example, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) provided over $2 billion in financing for renewable energy projects in developing countries in 2022, focusing on clean energy exports and infrastructure development. Conclusion: The Future of Trade Finance in the Energy Transition As the global energy transition accelerates, trade finance will continue to evolve, adapting to new risks, opportunities, and sustainability requirements.
