Special Green Funds for Local Governments
The practice of the local governments jointly establishing funds with
the development financial institutions and investment companies
to promote infrastructure construction for low carbon cities and
development of low carbon industries is already present. At the same
time, there are an increasing number of cases in which social capital
takes the initiative to launch low carbon-related private equity funds,
such as Zheshang Nuohai Low Carbon Fund. Following this trend,
the local governments can refer to the model of the governmental
venture capital investment direction fund to establish special green
direction funds, with the goal of guiding more social capital into
the green, low carbon domain. As a parent fund, the green direction
fund is committed to supporting development of the venture capital
investment enterprises in favour of clean technologies and making
contributions to the low carbon private equity funds. Like the
governmental direction funds, the green direction fund can subscribe
shares, provide guarantee for financing, make follow-up investment,
provide guarantee for investment, offer subsidies for risk taking, etc.,
in its operation.
