What is the Investment Opportunity
 The issues created by Climate Change (CC) are creating a long term “through the cycle” trend that will
fundamentally change business and society, and represent a very large commercial opportunity
 Standard Chartered Bank works across the entire financial product spectrum including
 Project Finance
 Debt
 Equity (both principal investment and Equity Capital Markets)
 We consider opportunities exist for all products depending on sector, stage of development and size. Key issue is
what is the right financial structure for the individual opportunity

Investors typically look for: At a Project level:


Making Investments Attractive  Attractive project financials
 Predictable, long term growth
 Resilient, non-cyclical earnings  Sound structuring

 Commercial upside, exit  Project management


strategy  Growth story
 Barriers to entry At the National level:
 Regulation  Enabling environment
 Cashflow  Understanding of investor
 Capital structure needs

 Track record, proven expertise  Reduced political risk

How Does SCB Analyse the Opportunity
“REEF” has gained focus due to :
• Volatility in fossil fuel prices (crude oil tripled since 2006 to July 08 and has fallen by 66% since then)
• Greater focus by countries on energy security to reduce geopolitical dependence
• Reducing capital cost of REEF technologies
• Government policies to support REEF
• Global Warming (“GW”) / Climate Change (“CC”) concerns

How Does SCB Analyse the Risk
 Energy Efficiency investments are a target of the Bank and will be governed by:
 SCB adherence to Climate Principles:
 “Minimise our operational carbon footprint”
 “Make business decisions that will reduce climate change risks and allow the development of climate-change
related opportunities”
 “Develop products and services that enable our customers to manage their climate change related risks and
business opportunities”
 “Engage with our customers, suppliers and wider society to seek opportunities for a low carbon economy”
 “Support the development of sound energy and climate change policy” and
 “Disclose progress against our commitment
 Internal position and sector statements including our commitment to sustainability
 Credit procedures – main issues to-date have focussed on:
 Technology risk / unfamiliarity of technology
 Track record in demonstrating energy saving and resulting cashflows
 Recourse – to what ?
 Benchmarks
 Unfamiliarity with ESCO type model in Asia

Case Study: Standard Chartered partners with ADB
in USD 114.5 million Energy Efficiency Initiative in China
Standard Chartered has been selected by the Asian Development Bank (“ADB”) as
the first partner financial institution in its Energy Efficiency Multi-Project Financing Program in China

• The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is extending 800 million yuan (about US$114.5 million) in a partial credit guarantee program to support small and medium
sized private sector energy-efficient projects in CHina
• The Energy Efficiency Multi-Project Financing Program is ADB’s first credit guarantee to mobilize commercial financing in PRC
• ADB has selected Standard Chartered Bank as the first partner financial institution in the pilot program that will initially target energy efficiency programs for
buildings
