🚆 Driving forward clean transportation 🚆 KfW IPEX-Bank is participating in the financing of new electric multiple units (EMUs) for ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) through a #GreenLoan amounting to EUR 150 million. The new EMUs will help ÖBB implement its #sustainability strategy as well as the Sustainable Finance Framework with regard to the green project category “Clean Transportation”. In addition, the project contributes to the European Union's goal of clean transport in accordance with the Green Loan Principles. This project is in the European Community's interest and also receives financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB). The financing has a term of 15 years. “We are delighted to once again support ÖBB with our financing and thereby advance the transport transition in Europe,” explained Andreas Ufer, Member of the Management Board of KfW IPEX-Bank. “Rail transport plays a crucial role in decarbonising the transport sector, which is why we are financing sustainable rail vehicles worldwide.” ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG Managing Director Heinz Freunschlag: "We are delighted we were able to successfully conclude further financing with KfW IPEX-Bank. This will allow us to continue our extensive procurement and investment programme as we develop a modern, comfortable and high-capacity train fleet." The new trains are intended to further improve the quality of service and attractiveness of rail passenger transport and so motivate more passengers to switch from cars to trains. #mobility #rail #SustainableTravel #MobilityFinance #Austria #ÖBB #IPEX

Did you know that large quantities of CO2 are released from waste that is deposited in open landfills, as is common practice in many countries? Rotting waste releases what is known as landfill gas, a combination of CO2 and methane, which is even more harmful to the climate. It is much more climate-friendly to incinerate the waste, especially if the energy released in the process is utilised, as is the case in modern Waste-to-Energy plants. Abu Dhabi has now decided to divert most of its waste from landfills and to showcase the value of waste as an energy source to reduce environmental pollution, and KfW IPEX-Bank is proudly contributing financing to the country's first Waste-to-Energy plant. Dr Velibor Marjanovic: “It’s a perfect match for us: With our financing, we support German and European exporters and, at the same time, the project helps to reduce carbon emissions and promotes circular economy in Abu Dhabi.” Go to press release: https://lnkd.in/e4BcxQVz #energy #wastemanagement #wastetoenergy #sustainability #decarbonization #IPEX

🚗🔋⚡🔌 Financing the mobility transition in #Europe: KfW IPEX-Bank and NatWest have together provided £55 million of debt facilities to support Be.EV’s electric vehicle charging network rollout. The funds will be used to accelerate the expansion of Be.EV’s charging network in communities across the #UK who don’t have access to rapid and ultra-rapid charging yet. By the end of 2024 Be.EV plans to operate more than 1,000 publicly accessible corresponding charge points in these regions. The chargers will be powered by renewable energy from Octopus Energy. With this financing, KfW IPEX-Bank underlines its commitment to contribute to the green transformation of the economy and society. Andreas Ufer, Member of the Management Board of KfW IPEX-Bank, said: “We are glad to have won Be.EV as a new customer and thus help advance the e-mobility infrastructure in the UK. It is our mission to support the mobility transition with our financings in Europe and worldwide and drive the change towards decarbonisation in our societies.” Asif Ghafoor, CEO of Be.EV, said: “The financing of KfW IPEX-Bank serves as a huge vote of confidence in our mission to provide reliable ultra-rapid charging to communities that have been left behind by the transition to electric vehicles. This sizably paves the way for future investments in the industry, which ultimately benefits the EV driving community and helps the UK Government’s Zero-emission-vehicles by 2035 mandate. It proves that investors, both domestic and international, are confident in the UK’s transition to EVs and its importance in transitioning to a net zero economy.” #EVcharging #emobility #electriccars #infrastructure #infrastructurefinance #sustainability #finance #IPEX
