Through providing flexible finance CO2Sense works to support
small scale (0.5-5MW) renewable energy projects in the UK. Their
ethical investments support the costs of development as far as
construction. All the proceeds from these investments are
reinvested to further encourage sustainable development. They
support both commercial and community scale projects.
Methods of investment
- The exact method of investment is flexible and is designed to
suit the project.
- Co2 Sense look for a return to reflect the risks that
they are taking. The exact terms will vary on a project by project
basis, depending on how they rate the risks within the project and
the level of security they are able to take.
What Co2 Sense would consider
They have a particular preference for anaerobic digestion,
biomass CHP, wind and hydro. As an example they can offer:
- Development loans to fund works required to reach planning
consent
- Bridging loans to cover costs between planning permission and
construction
- Short term loans to cover construction costs
Community projects
As a CIC Co2 Sense are committed to providing the same type of
investment support to community owned projects.
