HSBC is putting 4 billion into China's low carbon sector. It is a big number, but the details on which specific industries get the cash are thin here.
Agreed. 4 billion sounds great in a press release, but I want to know if this goes toward actual grid interconnection or just more solar panels that might get curtailed. What is the actual deployment timeline?
The real question is the reporting standard. Are these loans tied to verified emissions reductions or just general green labels? Without strict accounting, it is hard to tell if this drives real decarbonization.
Hope some of this hits industrial heat and efficiency. Most of the big money goes to new wind farms, but the old factories need the most help to stop burning coal.
