More efficient than prescriptive standards.  More carbon savings as a result.

localCarbon brings together private investment, developers, and local government to invest in the existing built environment.  We base our returns on the real economic cost of carbon, bypassing the low yields achieved when using savings on energy bills to pay back investors.  And while localCarbon financing can fund renewable generation that can take advantage of feed-in tariffs, we're not beholden to them or to their future.

With localCarbon finance, returns are a direct result of the cost per tonne of carbon abatement delivered.  By incorporating this key externality into the system, we ensure that localCarbon financing is the most efficient way of creating real carbon savings through development.
