This report focuses on investigating the SLCP mitigation technologies offering the highest mitigation potential of the three major SLCPs: black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and methane, and each of the sectors identified by the CCAC sector initiatives. The report assesses the barriers to expediently mobilise private financial flows towards SLCP mitigating technologies in a number of key sector and markets; analyse the financial profiles of the key technologies. With this, the report aims to ascertain the appetite of commercial lenders for SLCP technologies, and, the subsequent demand for a SLCP Finance Innovation Facility (FIF). The report is based on extensive desk based research. In addition, consultation with commercial Financial Institutions, and interviews with CCAC sector initiatives were carried out in order to develop market assessments and to identify the barriers to commercial finance for SLCP mitigation technologies.
