Carbon funds

When you consider whether you should invest on a CDM/ JI project, you would face the risks of various kinds and degrees. Even when you purchase credits based on an Emission Reductions Purchase Agreement, or ERPA, you never know whether you can receive as much credits as you expected at the end of the day.
Carbon fund is a financial mechanism to hedge such risks and to secure credits of good quality with high efficiency by forming a portfolio of diverse projects which participants would invest in or purchase credits from.

Natsource Japan has been working as an introductory agent in Japan and Korea for the Community Development Carbon Fund, or CDCF, which targets small-scale CDM projects, and BioCarbon Fund, or BioCF, which promotes sink CDM and JI projects, both funds designed and operated by the Carbon Finance Unit of the World Bank.

If you see energy efficiency projects and renewable energy projects as a business opportunity, you may be interested in funds which invest in ESCOs and renewable energy projects and distribute the profit from the projects to the fund investors. In such case, we introduce to you Global/ Asia Clean Energy Services Fund, LP. This fund is the third of its kind and is designed and operated by FE Clean Energy Group and patterned after their Eastern and Central European fund and Latin American fund.

Natsource Japan will also play an advisory roll for assisting the fund manager in the analysis of the carbon potential of its investments and help the fund to realize carbon credit from those investments.

Through the designing and operation of Greenhouse Gas Aggregation Pool, or GG-CAP, Natsource group has accumulated its knowledge and experience on carbon credits portfolio management. This is why we offer wide range of fund supporting services from designing, marketing to operation.
