The Green Finance Podcast Ep. 12: How do we make investments green, without going into the red?

Summary: When it comes to investing in sustainable projects, there are still many unknowns. Demand from investors is growing, but it's not consistent across the board and connecting it to the supply side remains challenging. Project financiers usually take less technical risks on more mature technologies, and when it comes to sustainability, many technologies are new. We need tools that enable project financiers to get comfortable with exploring and entering new markets. It will be interesting to see how the new Inflation Reduction Act will help on this front, and we are chatting about this today with Amanda Li, Co-Founder and COO of Banyan Infrastructure. Banyan is an investment facilitator for sustainable infrastructure headquartered in San Francisco, a business on a mission to unlock capital for the financing of green infrastructure projects of all sizes in a profitable way. Amanda has over ten years’ experience in engineering for sustainable development. Passionate about opening financial doors for green infrastructure projects. We had a real fun conversation, so let's dive right in.
