Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know the projects are real?
Every listing goes through our AI-assisted screening and diligence review before it reaches you, and comes with standardized financials and technical specs.
Who can access Climate Exchange, and how are projects vetted?
Institutional investors, banks, family offices, and qualified corporate buyers. Every project goes through screening before listing: permits, financial model and technical specs.
Can we set up mandate-specific alerts?
Yes. Set your filters by asset class, geography, project size, and stage. You'll get notified when new projects match.
What are the fees for investors?
No fee to browse or access data during beta. Project owners list for free during beta, or pay an engagement fee and a success fee at close for White-Glove Placement.
What is green lending?
Green lending is lending whose proceeds go exclusively to projects with clear environmental benefits, renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation, and similar categories. Most green loans follow the Green Loan Principles: a defined use of proceeds, a project selection process, tracked proceeds, and impact reporting.
What makes a project eligible for a green loan?
The proceeds must fund an eligible green category, solar, wind, storage, efficiency, grid upgrades, or EV charging, for example, and the borrower must track how the funds are used and report the environmental impact. Lenders then apply their normal credit criteria.
Do you work with CDFIs and green banks?
Yes. CDFIs, green banks, and community lenders filter projects by geography, asset class, ticket size, and program criteria, the same way banks and infrastructure funds do.
