Agenda Carbon Trust is an independent company that helps partners and clients find the opportunities and face the challenges brought about from combating climate change
– We advise governments, businesses and public sectors – We measure and certify products and organizations – We help deploy and develop low carbon technologies
We have stimulated and financed SME EE investment for over 10 years
– Good project economics, but known barriers hold back investment – Our proven advice programmes have overcome these barriers to catalyse investment – Our loans programmes have lent over £120m, and our awareness campaigns have transformed the UK market
This year we collaborated with INECC and the British Embassy on a study to identify the SME EE opportunity in Mexico and design a programme to exploit it
– Large opportunity with human capital, information, and capital barriers holding back uptake – Fragmented delivery picture, with sub-scale support for the opportunity – However coordination, extended advice, national awareness, and additional capital can transform the landscape
Setting up an SME programme in Mexico
– Identifying roles and partners – Coordinating detailed design and planning rollout – Launch, expansion, and ongoing delivery
We have developed a number of approaches to overcome these barriers. For example our advice programmes have catalysed UK SME investment
Carbon Trust advice and support activities of £32m in FY2009/10 helped our customers save 5m tonnes of CO 2 as well as create value for their companies, resulting in a “policy cost” of under £7/t

Carbon Trust has also run two separate loans schemes, demonstrating that Energy Efficiency loans work 0% loans for the UK Treasury, lending over £120m to 3,500 SMEs between 2003 and 2010
– All projects which received funds had a strong business case based on energy savings, with paybacks of 4 years or less. In addition they had to meet a “carbon threshold” of CO 2 emissions reduction per £ – The risk profile of the companies that got a Carbon Trust low was, at a portfolio level, better than that of the general population of companies
£550m commercial loans programme launched in 2011 in partnership with Siemens Financial Services
– During 2010, Carbon Trust sought out a financial partner to leverage the operational know-how, supplier networks, and strong brand already in place into a new scheme – Partnership launched after discussions with a number of potential finace partners, including banks – Carbon Trust provides the business case to ascertain cost, energy and carbon savings
Lessons learned
– Significant marketing effort, as well as advice, was needed to drive uptake – Using equipment suppliers as main route to market greatly increased uptake and reduced costs – As a group, SME applicants for energy efficiency financing have a lower credit risk than the average population of SMEs – The Carbon Trust assessment of project savings gave customers confidence that their monthly energy savings would exceed loan repayments, ensuring positive cash flow impact from the start. After the repayment period, projects yield significant cash benefits
And we have carried out national awareness raising campaigns to stimulate interest and demand

Source: GIZ (2012) “Recomendación estratégica sobre tecnologías y subsectors como orientación para sustentar acciones de eficiencia energética en el sector PyME” BMZ for Ministerio Federal de Cooperacíon Económica y Desarrollo March 2012. Assumptions: average electricity saving of 19% for commerce/services, 11% for industry and 30% for agriculture (average of 17% across all sectors), and thermal energy savings of 10% across all sectors.
Many EE projects pay back quickly, yet despite the compelling project economics, a number of barriers stop many companies from investing
$
Human capital
– Lack of awareness about the commercial benefits of energy efficiency – Lack of knowledge and expertise to identify and quantify costs and benefits of opportunities e.g. understanding energy consumption and knowing which technologies are appropriate. – Lack of time and resource to manage implementation e.g. select suppliers, run feasibility studies etc.
Information
– Lack of data about energy consumption for own business or poor visibility of energy costs – Lack of benchmarking data to understand relative performance – No sharing of best-practice approaches to energy management
Finance
– High purchase costs for equipment (new or replacement) (in Mexico, partially due to import tariffs) – High financing costs, (in Mexico, FIDE loans incurring 14% interest rates) – Limited access to finance due to risk-adverse commercial banks that don’t understand energy efficiency projects (the nature of returns through energy savings)
