This strategic allocation supports multiple green infrastructure projects, including wind, solar, and water resource management initiatives, marking a significant step forward in Mossshields’ commitment to green finance. Context and Trends in the Green Bond Market 1. Rapid Growth of European Green Bonds According to the European Investment Bank (EIB), European green bond issuances in 2022 are expected to exceed EUR 500 billion, representing nearly 50% of the global green bond market. These bonds primarily finance low-carbon infrastructure and sustainable development projects. ○ Policy Support: The EU’s “Green Deal” provides a stable policy framework, boosting both issuance and investor demand for green bonds. ○ Market Demand: Long-term investors, such as pension funds and sovereign wealth funds, regard green bonds as core portfolio assets. 2. Investment Appeal of Green Bonds ○ Stable Returns: Green bonds, typically backed by governments or high-quality corporates, offer lower default risk and steady yields. ○ ESG Attributes: Aligning with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, these instruments attract growing institutional interest. Mossshields’ Investment Projects and Positioning 1. German Wind Energy Project Green Bonds ○ Background: Mossshields invested in green bonds issued by a German wind power developer to finance two large-scale offshore wind farms in the North Sea region. ○ Technical Highlights: Equipped with advanced wind capture technologies, the farms aim to supply electricity to 1 million households annually. ○ Investment Outcomes: The expected annualized return is 4.8%, coupled with an annual reduction of approximately 2 million tons of CO₂ emissions. 2. Dutch Solar Infrastructure Bonds ○ Background: Mossshields participated in green bonds issued by a national solar project in the Netherlands, supporting the construction of over 200 small-scale solar PV plants nationwide. ○ Social Benefits: These solar installations are expected to generate 5GWh of clean energy annually, meeting the energy needs of more than 50 communities. 3.
