Emissziókötvényeket

Emissziókötvényeket, also known as emission bonds or carbon bonds, are a type of financial instrument issued to finance projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or promote climate change mitigation and adaptation. These bonds are part of the broader green bond market, specifically focusing on environmental benefits related to carbon emissions.

The proceeds from the sale of emissziókötvényeket are typically earmarked for eligible projects such as renewable energy development, energy efficiency improvements, sustainable transportation, afforestation, and carbon capture technologies. Investors who purchase these bonds are essentially providing capital for climate-friendly initiatives.

A key feature of emissziókötvényeket is the linkage between the bond's financial performance and the achievement of specific environmental targets. While not always the case, some emissziókötvényeket may include performance-linked features where the coupon rate or principal repayment is tied to the verifiable reduction in carbon emissions achieved by the financed projects. This adds a layer of accountability and transparency.

The issuance of emissziókötvényeket aims to mobilize private sector finance towards climate action and provide investors with opportunities to align their portfolios with environmental sustainability goals. They play a role in developing carbon markets and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
