We are aligned in our target with the European Investment Bank (EIB): driving technology efficiency in the battery value chain to make the Green Deal come true: Enabling battery chemistries hat use less critical minerals, develop processes that reduce losses in the battery supply chain and install next gen manufacturing concepts that reduce capex density. I was thrilled to hear Bertrand Piccard yesterday during the EIB forum on European Competitiveness to highlight this efficiency in innovation as key for a Europe 3.0. #ProudToBeUmicore  #greendeal #batterysupplychain

Rabobank is proud to announce its pivotal role as the financial catalyst driving forward IPlanet’s ambitious project, a joint venture between Italian Petroli IP - Gruppo api and Macquarie Group, to spearhead an expansive electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Italy. With over 500 locations earmarked for this noteworthy initiative, we stand as the mandated lead arranger in the syndicated debt package and the exclusive provider of the Deal Contingent Hedge. This transaction marks a significant milestone in the Italian EV charging infrastructure sector, showcasing our dedication to facilitating sustainable progress.   The establishment of a robust charging infrastructure is a crucial step towards realizing a net-zero future. By 2025, projections indicate that over 1 million public recharging stations will be operational, accommodating an estimated 13 million zero- and low-emission vehicles.   For us, a future-proof energy system is synonymous with our commitment to climate, nature and society and the reason why we collaborate and co-create to reinvent the energy system. It entails improving and developing sustainable energy infrastructure, including grid networks and storage. Moreover, our support for IPlanet's charging infrastructure roll-out aligns seamlessly with our commitment to expand our sustainable lending asset base.   #energytransition #evcharging #sustainablelending

Couldn't agree more Bonnie Y Chan! Led by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), HK capital markets offer a powerful combination to propel the electric vehicle sector forward. Access to capital is key, not just for public companies, but also for building crucial infrastructure like commercial EV charging stations which typically start as private companies and projects. This is where efficient private markets and wealth management come in, unlocking additional capital for impactful projects in the transition finance. Building trust in the private markets alongside public markets is essential. This requires robust digital infrastructure to connect investors and innovators effectively. We at EVIDENT, along with other platforms, are proud to be actively involved in supporting impactful companies and projects through private wealth capital. Real change requires efficient availability of capital from all sources! #alternativeinvestments #privatewealth #transitionfinance #ev

Today, I had the opportunity to share some initial reflections on the bankability of the first green hydrogen projects at the 5th Edition of the Hydrogen Finance and Investment Summit in Amsterdam. It was really interesting discussing with other financial institutions the main challenges that the first low-carbon hydrogen projects are facing and what needs to happen in the coming months to enable the first non-recourse financings in the European market. We all agree that the road ahead will not be easy, but at Santander we believe that all challenges can be overcome if we work together.

#HongKong’s capital markets can support the #EV sector by providing access to both onshore and international capital, and through efficient and trusted systems, says Bonnie Y Chan, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) CEO.
