Description du projet
Relancer le moteur des projets d’économie circulaire
Pour faciliter l’investissement et le financement des projets d’économie circulaire en Europe, une collaboration avec les investisseurs et les partenaires financiers est importante pour instaurer la confiance. Il est indispensable de trouver de nouvelles solutions de financement et de nouveaux modèles d’entreprise qui puissent rendre ces projets moins risqués et plus bancables. Dans cette optique, le projet DEFINITE-CCRI, financé par l’UE, créera un moteur de transactions qui fournira une expertise technique, financière et d’économie circulaire aux développeurs de projets locaux. Plus précisément, il visera à rationaliser les processus susceptibles de réduire les coûts de transaction et à engager la communauté financière privée à relever les défis juridiques, administratifs et commerciaux. Le projet entend lancer des investissements dans quatre projets d’économie circulaire avec un volume total de portefeuille pouvant atteindre 80 millions EUR.
Objectif
Effective investment and financing opportunities for circular economy projects in Europe are still few and far in between. Investors need to gain trust in circular economy projects. Projects need to become less risky and bankable, based on new and re-designed finance solutions and business models. Transaction costs need to be decreased and the private finance community needs to be engaged to address legal, administrative and market challenges. The DEFINITE-CCRI project establishes a deal engine, providing technical, financial and circular economy expertise through local project development assistance in an unprecedented and streamlined process to cities, regions and project developers. The deal engine will be built with investors and finance partners and the goal to launch investments in four circular economy projects of up to EUR 20 million investment volume per project, amounting to a total portfolio volume of up to EUR 80 million. The DEFINITE-CCRI will demonstrate the bankability of high-impact circularity projects and increases maturity and investor trust in circular economy innovation. It closes the gap between project developers in cities and regions on one side, and investors and finance partners on the other. The DEFINITE-CCRI project co-creates and proves an end-to-end PDA process, aggregating risk-mitigation, EU Taxonomy compliance, circularity criteria and technical and financial engineering in a single project development service for the CCRI’s service portfolio. Partners commit to operate the deal-engine sustainably beyond the project lifetime. This will inject the financial, technical and managerial know-how into urban circular transitions and ultimately contribute to lower virgin non-renewable material use, lower GHG emissions and more just and inclusive circular employment in line with the European Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan and the Bioeconomy Strategy.
