Bridging the Climate Financing Gap
Substantial challenges exist…
The Climate Financing Gap is $2-3trn annually until 2030. The associated complexity, tech risk and timeframes are a poor match to ‘quarterly capitalism.’
The existing financial ecosystem is struggling to accommodate within their current investment mandates, public funding is slow to deploy and lacks innovation DNA.
…TFN is an independent consultant and financial advisor…
…founded to bridge the climate financing gap between scale ups and investors
Success requires creative thinking and bespoke approaches to business models, pitching the value proposition, and financial structuring to match diverse investor mandates.
We offer end-to-end support to climate scale-ups applying expertise in project management, innovative structuring and strategic finance to unlock opportunities for resource-constrained clients.
”… nothing short of a total transformation of the energy systems that underpin our economies…requires vast amounts of investment, innovation, skilful policy design and implementation, technology deployment, infrastructure building, international co‐operation”
(IEA Net Zero by 2050)
How We Help
We support climate scale-ups in navigating their financial and strategic roadmaps.
This is done via Venture Building – where we help our clients refine their business and financing strategies.
and Equity Raising and Debt Advisory – where we leverage our extensive network of climate investors and corporates to connect clients with the most suitable partners and financing structures to support their growth journey.
Who We Help
Our clients cover the full spectrum of climate innovation sectors and growth stages and all require highly customised and innovative solutions.
Examples of some of our recent projects and clients include arranging funding and PMO support for a HjT solar PV Manufacturing Giga factory by MCPV; supporting a hydrogen refuelling stations project in Spain for Resilient Hydrogen; designing a project financing strategy in green bio-graphite for battery anodes from CarbonScape; designing a funding strategy for H2-powered aviation solution with Fokker Next Generation; the financial review of independent renewable power solutions by Enernet Global and designing Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) solutions for the shipping sector together with FPG AIM.
