转型金融工具指南：可持续发展挂钩债券(SLBs)
Posted: Mar 24, 2023

作为对绿色金融市场的重要补充和延伸，转型金融相关产品的发展已经成为可持续金融领域受到较多关注的议题。目前，房地产、交通和公用事业等行业具有相对完善的低碳转型路径，来自这些行业的实体可以较为轻松地使用绿色债券为其项目、资产和特定支出进行融资。而对于很多高碳排放行业，如水泥、钢铁和基础化学品等，市场上的转型相关路径才刚开始制定，明确募集资金用途用于特定行业的指引尚较为缺乏。对于这些高碳排放的企业实体，不限募集资金用途的可持续挂钩债券（SLB）已成为一个受到市场追捧的融资工具。可持续发展挂钩债券是一种将债券条款与发行人可持续发展目标相挂钩的债务融资工具，和绿色债券、碳中和债券等限定募集资金用途的产品相比，其在发行主体、募资用途、债券结构等方面都更加灵活。

由于SLB允许发行主体为一般用途融资，机构实体可以设定自身的关键绩效指标（KPI）和可持续发展绩效目标（SPT），SLB市场在过去两年得到了强劲增长。从规模上，截至2022年11月，气候债券倡议组织（CBI）统计SLB和转型债券发行量已达2,017亿美元。

然而，在SLB市场蓬勃发展的同时，市场对SLB和转型债券缺乏雄心和可信度充满担忧，主要原因是发行人选定的减排目标是根据业务基线而非基于气候科学的路径，因此这样的减排目标很难与同行和特定行业路径进行比较。

 

为了增强SLB的可信度，CBI鼓励发行人参考以下几点：

转型金融市场发展快讯 |低碳制氢: 经济低碳转型的关键驱动力
Posted: Mar 10, 2023

作为一种基本化学品，氢多年来主要用作炼油厂和化学工艺（如氨和甲醇生产）的原料。如今，氢作为一种超越其传统应用的可持续燃料和生产原料，正经历着前所未有的发展趋势。氢能可以用于工业中的燃料和原料、运输中的燃料电池、航运和航空的燃料等，它为替代化石燃料和促进经济快速去碳提供了巨大的机会。

国际能源署（IEA）估计，2020年对氢气的总需求量约为9000万吨。大约45%用于炼油，50%用于化学品生产（主要是氨），其余5%用于直接还原铁（DRI）工艺生产钢铁。

氢气生产需要大量的能源。今天，大部分的氢气生产是基于成本最低的替代品：天然气蒸汽重整和煤气化。这些生产方式目前都有很高的碳足迹。因此，使氢气生产更具有可持续性对促进经济的去碳化至关重要。

从2020年到2050年，全球的氢气投资总额或将达到15万亿美元。氢气生产过程中有巨大的脱碳潜力，这将需要迅速扩大低碳氢气的规模。如何使氢气生产更低碳和更具经济可行性是现在的主要议程，而促进整个氢气价值链的绿色投资对于发展氢气市场至关重要。此外，标准和认证机制将在氢气市场的发展中发挥重要作用，制定一个共同的和可信赖的融资标准将在氢气市场的发展中发挥关键作用，因为它将促进一个公平的竞争环境，并为投资者提供更多的信心。
