HOW WE SCALE CLIMATE BONDS

Climate bonds: from one factory to billions in verifiable, tradeable paper.

Our Climate Bond strategy, in one line. Every installed system becomes a micro-bond, one line in a weekly country basket. A power purchase agreement on every device sells its output before the system is financed, and that contracted, meter-verified power services the bond coupon every month. As the copy factories ramp, thousands of systems a week are pooled into certified notes, so capital that has never reached a home, a clinic or a farm in an underserved community can finally reach it. Every basket puts certified installers and factory crews to work in sustainable trades, and every system displaces diesel or dirty grid power.

  1. Measure at the source. This same board ships inside every ANEW product, from the eCUBE node to a rooftop tracker to a micro-hydro turbine, and meters what the system actually generates, stores and delivers. It lists at US$90 and costs about US$50 to make at volume, so the identity scales with the hardware instead of adding an auditor to every roof.
  2. Sign with the silicon. Its secure element carries a physically unclonable function, an identity grown from that chip’s own microscopic manufacturing variation, so every kilowatt-hour leaves signed by hardware that cannot be copied or spoofed.
  3. Settle the power purchase agreement. Each device carries a PPA that sold its output before the system was financed. The signed record is the delivery proof, so the buyer pays for verified kilowatt-hours and the trustee receives contracted revenue every month. Tax credits, carbon credits and, on the roadmap, digital assets on regulated rails can all be layered in to fund the system; the PPA is the engine.
  4. Trade and service the coupon. PPAs are bilateral contracts arranged on marketplaces such as LevelTen Energy and hedged on CME Group, Nodal Exchange and EEX; a desk can price and hedge the power behind every note. That contracted power revenue pays the monthly coupon, and every product ships with a baby tree, or we plant one in your name.

Earth is our biggest shareholder.

Every product we make ships with a small sapling. It is our way of giving back to the planet that makes the power possible, and of putting a living thing to work healing the ground around every installation. If you would rather not plant it yourself, we plant it on your behalf, tag it like the hardware it came with, and keep you in the loop as it grows and your investment works to heal the planet.

Why Now

Bond buyers need duration that is not a bet on a sovereign balance sheet.

Two things are true in the market at the same time this year. Long-dated government paper is being repriced around deficits and supply. Meanwhile the pool of capital with a climate mandate keeps growing faster than the supply of certified paper it is allowed to buy. A note serviced by contracted, meter-verified electricity sits in a different risk bucket than either.

Certified paper is the bottleneck

Green issues are consistently more oversubscribed than equivalent conventional bonds. The shortage is not capital looking for climate assets. It is assets that clear the certification bar.

Where we intend to fit. Not as a substitute for sovereign risk, and not as a concessional story. As certified paper whose coupon is serviced by electricity that was sold under contract before the system was financed, metered at the device and signed by hardware that cannot be cloned. That is the whole thesis of this page, and the ladder below grades honestly how much of it is already true.

Climate Bonds, Plainly

What climate bonds are, and why we build for them.

A climate bond is the instrument this whole page scales toward. Here is what one is, who certifies it, where ANEW Energy stands today, and what would service the coupon, in plain English. The Standard itself is published by the Climate Bonds Initiative.

What is a climate bond?

A climate bond is a bond or note whose proceeds are committed to assets and projects that cut greenhouse-gas emissions or build climate resilience, such as solar, wind, storage and micro-hydro systems. Investors receive a coupon and their principal back like any other bond. The difference is that the use of proceeds is defined up front, verified by an independent party and reported on for the life of the bond. Climate bonds that meet the Climate Bonds Standard can carry the Climate Bonds Certified mark.

Who certifies climate bonds?

The Climate Bonds Initiative, a London-based not-for-profit, writes the Climate Bonds Standard and the sector criteria under it. It does not lend money and does not guarantee bonds. An Approved Verifier, an independent firm accredited by the Initiative, tests each bond against the criteria before issuance and again after the proceeds are allocated, and the report is published. The Initiative certifies debt instruments, assets and entities. It does not certify products or installers.

Is ANEW Energy Climate Bonds Certified?

Not yet. ANEW Energy is registered with the Climate Bonds Initiative and is structuring its planned note programme for certification under the Climate Bonds Standard, with independent verification by an Approved Verifier. The plan is to have certification in place by the time the products are in production, so the first baskets of installed systems can be issued as certified notes. No notes have been issued and no certification has been granted yet. Everything on this page describes a plan and is illustrative.

What would pay the coupon on an ANEW climate bond?

Contracted electricity. A system enters a weekly country basket only after its output is under a power purchase agreement, so the primary cash flow is fixed-price revenue from a known buyer. Each system meters its output at source and signs every reading with a hardware identity, and the trustee releases the coupon against that signed record. Renewable certificates, carbon credits and, for US assets, transferable tax credits sit alongside the power revenue.

How do climate bonds scale with copy factories?

Each factory ships a weekly volume of solar, wind, storage and micro-hydro systems. Every installed system becomes one line in a weekly country basket. Baskets are verified, certified and drawn as series off a revolving note programme. The interactive model on this page shows what one, five and ten factories would ask the bond market to absorb, and the accountability ladder grades which links in that chain are already proven and which are still assumptions.

Why do climate bonds matter for small clean-energy projects?

Most homes, farms, clinics and small businesses are too small for a bank to finance one at a time. Pooling thousands of installed systems into one certified climate bond turns many small projects into a single instrument that institutional and development capital can buy. That is the aggregation route development finance institutions describe for distributed renewable energy, and it is how capital reaches communities that traditional markets have skipped.

How do I follow the programme or register interest?

Register an indication of interest on the Fund Your Project page, or read the investor brief written for bond and commodity desks. ANEW Energy is not a lender, broker-dealer or investment adviser, and nothing on this page is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security.

What Climate Bonds certification buys

  • Access to the mandates. Roughly US$6.8 trillion of green, social and sustainability debt is aligned with the Climate Bonds Standard, and many dedicated funds only hold labelled or certified paper. Certification is the screen, so it is the door to that bid.
  • A pricing edge that is real but small. The Climate Bonds Initiative's pricing studies have repeatedly found labelled bonds drawing larger order books and, in many cases, pricing a few basis points inside comparable conventional bonds. It is not guaranteed, so it sits here as an editable input, default 5 bp.
  • Listing eligibility. Certified paper qualifies for Latinex's sustainability segment and for display on the Luxembourg Green Exchange, where climate capital already concentrates.
  • One verification, three users. The pre- and post-issuance verifier reports rest on the same signed device data the trustee pays coupons from and the carbon registry issues credits from.
  • The cost is already in the bond. Verifier fees and annual reporting sit inside the 2.6% certification and trustee line on every system card.

Price a system, then bond the whole installation

Two reference sites from the funding page. One note covers everything it takes to get a working system on a roof: the equipment, freight and duties, permits and commissioning, the certified installer, the insurance wrap, the audit, the reserve, and the certification and trustee fees. Every line is editable. Equipment prices are illustrative list prices, with the communications board at its US$90 MSRP, and land within a few percent of the published US$18,000 and US$65,000 examples; the landed and on-site lines carry hypothetical placeholder values on top. Set those four lines to zero to see the published cases, give or take the board's price.

Repayment length · note tenor

Each note amortises fully over its tenor in equal monthly coupons: 120 payments, after which the site owner keeps every stream. The published examples use ten years, matching a ten-year-plus power purchase agreement. Longer tenors lower the coupon and raise the cover ratio; shorter tenors repay investors faster.

Coupon rate · 10-year amortising note

5.6% · annual debt service = principal × r ÷ (1 − (1+r)−n) over n years. At 5.6% over ten years a US$18,000 note costs US$2,400 a year, the figure the funding page publishes. Use the market strip above to set this from today's benchmark.

Carbon price · US$ per tonne

US$12/t · the funding page's published assumption. Voluntary credits trade on CME Group, Xpansiv CBL, ACX and Climate Impact X.

Renewable certificate price · US$ per MWh

US$0/MWh · not priced in the published examples, so it starts at zero. Move it to see what a certificate bid adds to coupon cover.

Power · trading spread & fees

2% of gross power revenue paid away: the aggregator's route-to-market fee, PPA settlement, hub-basis hedge cost and clearing on CME Group, Nodal or EEX. Buy-sell spread on the hedge, not a retail margin.

Carbon credits · trading spread & fees

10% between the registry issuance and the sale price: verifier and registry fees, broker or exchange spread on CBL, ACX or GEO futures, clearing member charge.

Certificates · trading spread & fees

10% paid away selling certificates through Nodal, ICE or EEX: tracking-system fees, broker spread and clearing.

    Simulation. Illustrative figures from editable assumptions, not a forecast, projection or offer.

    Model assumptions, all illustrative and all visible above. Reference sites from the funding page: a Costa Rica home (8 kW solar, 10 kWh storage, US$18,000 installed, about 12.8 MWh a year, negligible carbon against a 98% renewable grid) and a Kenya clinic (30 kW, 60 kWh, US$65,000 installed, about 51 MWh a year, about 31 tCO₂e a year avoided against diesel). Product unit prices are illustrative list prices, with the communications board at its US$90 MSRP, chosen to land within a few percent of the published equipment share; they are not quotes. The bonded principal is the whole installation: equipment plus freight, duties, permitting and commissioning (hypothetical placeholders: about US$1,220 for the Costa Rica home and US$8,400 for the Kenya clinic, zero in the published examples), grossed up for the services bonded with it at the published shares of installed cost: installer 17.5%, insurance 8%, audit and packaging 3.9%, reserve 3%, certification and trustee 2.6%, leaving equipment at 65%. All shares are editable. Every system is assumed fully financed through the note programme and amortised over ten years at the coupon shown. Each note amortises fully over the tenor you choose (default ten years, 120 monthly payments). Coupons are modelled as paid monthly, one twelfth of the annual debt service, serviced first from power under contract, then from carbon credits and certificates sold through licensed participants, then from the customer's bill savings. Each commodity stream is taken net of an editable trading spread and fee haircut (defaults: power 2%, carbon 10%, certificates 10%) covering hedge basis, broker or exchange spread, registry and clearing charges; these are illustrative placeholders, not quoted market spreads. The reserve buffer is sized in months of coupon it can carry while credits await verification. One installer crew is assumed to complete five Costa Rica homes or two and a half Kenya sites a week. Each additional copy factory is costed at about US$50 million, the published scope of the distributed pilot line. Global aligned issuance benchmark US$1.0 trillion a year. The market reference strip shows delayed, indicative third-party data (FRED daily yields and euro rate, CBAM Guide's daily EU allowance reference, delayed green bond ETF quotes), cached for fifteen minutes; the greenium and spread inputs are placeholders for a desk to overwrite, not ANEW pricing. None of this is a forecast, a projection of ANEW's results, or an offer of any security.

    The buyers behind the coupon

    At this scale, who takes the power, and does the grid have room for it?

    The engine above assumes every megawatt-hour finds a buyer. At ten factories that is a fleet the size of a national utility's rooftop programme, so three things have to exist alongside the factories: buyers under contract, someone licensed to schedule and trade the fleet as one, and transformers with room for it.

    Buyers

    Off-takers, by basket

    In a single-buyer country like Costa Rica the distributor takes the power at the regulated tariff, so the basket's revenue is tariff credits and bill savings. In open markets it is corporates, utilities and retailers signing power purchase agreements of ten years or more; storage-dispatched output earns a firmness premium because it arrives in the evening peak.

    The model's "power under contract" row is this.

    Route to market

    One trader for thousands of sites

    Households do not trade on EPEX or Nord Pool. A licensed aggregator such as EDF Trading, Statkraft, Axpo or a virtual power plant like Next Kraftwerke forecasts the fleet, nominates one schedule to the grid operator, carries the imbalance risk and hedges the merchant tail on CME Group, Nodal or EEX.

    The 2% power trading spread in the model is their fee plus hedge and clearing. Names are examples of the role, not partners.

    Grid capacity

    The transformer sets the pace

    Every feeder has a hosting-capacity budget set by its substation transformer. Midday export from many roofs and the evening load both have to fit. Storage that shifts export into the evening peak makes both smaller, which is why every ANEW system ships with it and why storage, not panels, decides how fast a region can absorb systems.

    Where capacity is exhausted, flexible connections and substation upgrades by the network company take over.

    For the specialist · what the engine does and does not model

    The engine prices contracted volume net of a trading spread; it does not model interconnection queues, hosting-capacity limits per feeder, capture-rate erosion for uncontracted midday output, or the firmness premium storage earns. Read its "power under contract" line as the volume an aggregator must place with off-takers each year and its installed-base curve as the number of connection approvals distribution operators must grant. Both are external constraints that the checklist below now names. The energy-markets page carries a single-feeder substation simulator to make the second one concrete.

    Introduction

    Okay, so at Intel, as a vendor back in the 1990s when we were selling all the semiconductor equipment to them and my company was in like every part, every department, we had to say the Intel mantra and essentially it's the human error will come in and find a way to wreck the process. My job as a vendor to Intel is to human-proof everything. So we went through for many years, all the way back a decade or so, and tried to figure out how can we find the gaps in deploying mass scale renewable energy. So, you know, you've learned about all the products that we're doing and we found that the gap was getting funding to underserved communities and pretty much just anybody that needs to go, you know, renewable.

    Climate Bonds Overview

    And so we devised this whole plan where we learned about these climate bonds. So a little bit about climate bonds is that it's capital that's been allocated to fighting the climate crisis. The large financial institutions around the world have put money that's earmarked for this and you have to do a lot of regulatory compliance to be able to receive this capital. And there's something in the magnitude of five times more capital available than there are certified bonds. So I believe that there's like $15 trillion targeted for fighting the climate crisis.

    The Circuit Board Technology

    And the big banks tried it with the United Nations and they couldn't deploy the capital, and they're still struggling to deploy the capital. And we believe it's this little $50 circuit board that you're looking at here on this page right here. And this goes into every product that we make. Down here is a box that's got a little solar panel on it. It's always alive, it's always talking to the Internet and it's transmitting how much power goes through this box. So a solar panel could be on one side and you know, the grid could be on the other side. And when you transfer that, you can trade the power. So the idea of working with the commodities market like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Luxembourg and you know, all these different exchanges and being able to trade electrons is what we're working on.

    Scaling Production & Bonds

    And so as we think through this, we've got to be able to do it in big batches of, you know, 500 at a time, thousand at a time. And when we do that, we have to come down into this section of this web page and we're going to scale this thing. So if we have one factory up here in the left, and let's say it makes 50 assemblies per week. So 50 microgrids, batteries, windmills, water turbines, solar trackers, EV charging stations, distribution back to the grid. So we've got all these products that work together as a collective. The bond transactions are $95 million. And these are floating numbers. So this is just a simulator here. But if we go to 100, you see that we go up higher. If we go to 1,000. So we believe that we can deliver 10,000 wind turbines, water turbines, batteries per week. With this mass scale production that we're developing, it turns into a 1.9 billion dollar bond that we want to pull down from the climate bond. So basically we take the products that are being sold, we certify them, we then get costing from certified installers that we've approved. And now we're certified with the Climate Bonds Initiative because we've complied with their regulatory compliance. [Editor's note: ANEW Energy is registered with the Climate Bonds Initiative and is working toward certification, which it plans to have in place by the time the products are in production. It is not yet certified.] And we do it all day long every time we ship a product. So we can do this at scale. And then we bring in the insurance company, we do all the regulatory paperwork in advance so everything's ready to go. The package is there and we do it like 500, 1000 at a time per week. And we bring in these project managers and they're there at the site getting everything done. And when their paperwork and compliance is ready to go, then we go ahead and we can trade the futures on the electrons that are sold.

    Hardware Security & Crypto

    So we can trade it with markets through this circuit board that's on every device. So this has got an encrypted chip on there. So in semiconductors when we're making all these little transistors, these circuits that turn on and off to make modern computers work and cell phones and all that, there's always flaws because it's such fine resolution. There's billions of circuits that the chip has a unique ID. So we can map out that unique ID with a chip called a PUF. It's an unclonable function. So it goes in, figures out where all they are and it creates a long crypto number. So we've got crypto for every product that we make. And so when we think this way, now we can start trading each device and then we can monitor how much power it's sold since it was created and when it goes carbon negative and all kinds of cool things like that. And so this little box here is standalone. It's got a little solar panel on board to keep the battery charged. So if power goes down, it can keep monitoring what's going on when it wakes up. And then it registers how much power has been transferred. And so this is a demo board that we're building right now. And it'll essentially go into every product and then it's got a power board that monitors all the power. And we can recalibrate it every year. So this is kind of the hardware behind it. But down here you can start playing around with like, if we build five factories, we want to build 10 factories by the end of the decade. And then we come down and we max out at 10,000 units per week. So five factories at 10,000 per week. That's 9.6 billion in climate bonds that are traded on the exchange. So it becomes a whole new bond platform. And we're committed to this thing. And now we can get capital to, you know, the bond manager is going to pay, you know, the people that installed it, they're gonna pay all the regulatory compliance, they're gonna pay the insurance company.

    Energy as a Service

    So if Lloyd's of London, you know, insures a big package of these things, you know, they get paid monthly on their insurance that we do. So anyhow, everybody gets paid by the bond manager and then power is made. People don't need to have huge amounts of capital to get into this. And we've actually got a rental angle to this where we kind of take the ownership of it and we just rent the equipment out to companies that just don't want to deal with any of it. They just want to keep buying power. They call it EaaS, energy as a service. So anyhow, that's a little bit about it. You can come down into here and read more about these climate bonds. So they've been around for quite a while. The big banks put them together. Here's some examples of selling products in Kenya versus Costa Rica. And then more metrics about the transaction, the trade, and on and on. So lots of cool graphs and charts that update when you play with the variables. And it actually has an open feed to the climate bond market. So you can see all the bonds that are being sold right now on the market. So anyhow, this is a little bit about it. Thank you very much for taking time to learn. And as they say in Costa Rica, pura vida, which means have a pure day and a beautiful day. So thank you and we'll talk to you again sometime next.

    Video transcript

    Okay, let's talk about scaling this whole program and how we go about doing that. So, back in the 1990s when we had MicroTool and we were in every department and every chip factory around the world, most everyone, we had to repeat the Intel mantra. So everybody, didn't matter what chip company it was, they wanted to know that Intel endorsed it. So we went after Intel and every time we'd walk into a meeting they'd say, say the mantra. And the mantra is: the human error will come in and find a way to wreck the process. My job as a vendor to Intel is to human-proof everything. So we began thinking that way back in the 1990s and we still use that methodology; all these manufacturing guys that are working at ANEW Energy on this, to human-proof everything.

    And so we do a lot of planning to do that. And what we came up with, you'll see, is this electronics package that's in every product that we make. So we monitor the power, and how much we can sell back to the grid. Like in Costa Rica, they've just enacted a new law that anybody that's making excess power can sell it to the grid. They're embracing renewable energy like nobody else's business. And they've got all these electric cars coming in so they've got to make more power. And so there's new laws that are in effect to solve this problem. So what we've created is a circuit board and it monitors high power and then it talks to the Internet and it communicates with trading platforms like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or Luxembourg, and everybody that's trading power purchase agreements.

    And so what we've done is, that's the revenue stream that can fund a bond. So when we go to do a bond, and we want to do a lot of bonds, so we're going to pull down, you know, billions per week in bonds, is that we want to package a whole bunch of them together, but we have to get all of them in compliance. So there's this bond called a climate bond. And the whole mission was that the large banks across the world were putting, and funding institutions were putting capital in to fight the climate crisis. And they kind of pulled it all away from the United Nations. The United Nations couldn't deploy the capital fast enough. And so they have, I believe it's like $15 trillion, parked there dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, but they can't deploy it fast enough.

    So we believe we've got the answer here with this electronics package. And when you're making a semiconductor, you know, like your cell phone or the computer that I'm recording this on, there's billions of little circuits in it. And it's all these transistors that are on, off, on, off, creating the magic that we see here today. And it's such small detail that sometimes the circuits don't get created and formed, they get flawed. And so when your computer starts up, it'll say, where are all the flaws? Don't go use them. And so that becomes a crypto account or essentially an unclonable function. So we park this little chip right next to the microprocessor.

    And it reads that all out and it says, this is your new fingerprint. So it's just like a human's fingerprint and it's just this unclonable function. So we put a couple of those on, so we've got double anti-cloning, or anti-breaking-into the whole system. And now we can monitor power. We can trade power. We know how much, from when it was born, how much it made and how much it sold. And so we've got a platform that we can do at scale. So every product that's made at ANEW Energy has this technology on board. Here's a little box down here. We're building this right now. And we're rigged up to the Mercantile Exchange, where we can plug in a solar panel on one side.

    This has got a little solar panel on top to keep the batteries charged if, you know, there's no sunlight. And anyhow, we can make that transaction happen through this little box. And anyhow, if you move down into this lower section of this web page, we've got: we're on a mission to fight the climate crisis at scale. So we want to build one factory like we do at Intel. We want to document all best known practices. Then we want to replicate that around the world, in the native language, the native currency and taxation rules, and allow the price point to float with the economics in that particular part of the world. So what we can do is, if we have one factory here, and let's say we're just ramping up and we're making a hundred systems, microgrids, so it'd be a solar, wind, battery, water turbine, EV charging station, distribution point.

    And we make 100 of them per week. Then we come down here and we look at what's bankable and what we could pull down on the bond. Well, it's only 139 million. So this is every week. So these are low numbers, to get capital moving in. And when we go up to one factory and we go to a thousand per week, a thousand systems that get deployed, we come down and it becomes a 1.9 billion dollar annual bond. And so when we go up and we look at 10,000 per week, which is what we're designing the factory for, is for mass production. So 10,000 wind turbines, 10,000 water turbines, battery packs. So we've really got the factory humming along and we do that. Now we come down and we look at it.

    It's a $19 billion bond, climate bond. So it really starts pulling on that 15 trillion there. But we're on a mission to build a lot of these factories. So let's look at five factories. Let's say we can build five factories by the end of the decade. Now that's 96 billion. And if we meet our goal, 10 factories, and we're running full-blown production, we come down here, that's $191 billion. So it becomes this whole new climate bond place to park your money. Climate's here forever. We're not getting rid of this, it's only going to get worse. And so it's a good investment. Everybody's going to need more power: computers, electric vehicles, all that stuff. And so we see kind of a new way to approach the bond markets.

    And I know they're a little shaky in my country here in America right now because the government's taken on too much debt. But I think that this is really a viable platform, and you can come down and you can see all kinds of charts and graphs down here. And, you know, doing business in Costa Rica is a little bit different than Kenya, Africa, and how we map all that out. And then we come down into the principal payment and then the installation costs and the insurance costs, and we add it all up, and then the bond manager pays everybody. So when this capital comes in, the bond manager is like, all right, ANEW Energy, you're going to get so much for selling us the capital equipment; the installers are going to get X amount for installing; the bondholders are going to get X amount, and people like that.

    So we've got all these stakeholders that are covered here. And so you can come down and kind of play around with it. And we actually have a live feed to the bond markets right now for the climate bonds. And so you can look at a 20-year bond and how that coupon plays out, and a 5-year bond and all that. I think we were able to pay back everything in 12 years, I think it was. So anyhow, when we repay it, and it changes with, like, an electric vehicle, and you know you're not buying gasoline, so there's all kinds of cool stuff that goes into that. So here's a bunch of graphs and charts that are based around that simulator. So the simulator is all the way up at the top, so you can come all the way back up here and you can play around with the values here.

    So you can go, you know, we're only going to get five factories up before the end of the decade and we're only going to make 5,000 units per week. And so then that changes things and you can really run these numbers differently. So it's a new strategy. You've got to have hardware, you've got to have software, you've got to have renewable energy equipment, batteries and so forth. So anyhow, we'll leave it at that. And as they say in Costa Rica, pura vida, which means the pure life. Have a great day, thank you for your time.

    Video transcript

    Okay, let's talk about funding everything at scale. So we are manufacturing professionals. We are on a mission to fight the climate crisis at scale. And we have processes that we can build tens of thousands of our solution and deploy them around the world. Way back in the 1990s when we were big in semiconductors and we were in most departments throughout these fabs, all the different chip companies always asked what Intel was doing, so we focused on Intel. And Intel had a mantra. We'd walk into the room in the meeting and they'd say, say the mantra. And we'd say, the human error is going to come in and find a way to wreck the process. Our job as a vendor to Intel is to human-proof everything.

    So we've gotten really good at finding the gaps and human-proofing it. And what we found over the last decade of focus groups is that funding businesses, family homes, hospitals, hotels: there's a lot of work behind it, but there's a method to do that. It's called a climate bond. And so back when everybody started working on climate, the large financial institutions put a lot of money into the United Nations. The United Nations kind of blew it, and they couldn't deploy it fast enough. And I believe today there's something in the realm of $15 trillion parked and reserved for fighting the climate crisis. However, it takes a lot of paperwork and regulatory compliance to satisfy that bar.

    So there's a group called the Climate Bonds Initiative, and their job is to make sure that we've been certified. So we've met with, like, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and they explained to us how we have to kind of count carbon calories and all that. So we took that to heart and we developed some electronics that are on every product. So down here you'll see this electronics package. And this is in everything that we make. And it basically talks to the Internet and it tells the Internet how much power we've made. And we can trade it, like on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or Luxembourg and all these different exchanges. So we can sell the power and the futures of the power.

    But how do you get all the capital together to do the installation? That requires cost. You've got to insure all the capital equipment. You've got to do all the capital equipment, the installer cost, and the insurance people are the main people that need to be paid. So we've decided that being able to pull down these bonds in bulk is really where we want to go. So a climate bond, a small one, is $500 million. And we could do that every week, several times a week, with the production capacity that we've got. So if you come down here lower, you'll find this whole section in here. That's the simulator. So the simulator, it's got, let's say we build one factory.

    Our mission is to build ten factories by the turn of the decade. And let's say that we're making 500 products, microgrids, so wind, water, solar, storage and distribution for powering your EV. And in Costa Rica, they've enacted a new law that allows everybody to sell excess power back to the grid. It just goes into effect, I think, this month or next month. And anyhow, there's a need to be able to buy and sell that power. So if we package, like, 500 of them together every week, they become fairly large. So here's 500 microgrids out of one factory, and it gets us $957 million in bond that we can pull down. And so if we go up and we say, all right, let's go up to our full potential, because we believe in our factory we're making this very quickly.

    These batteries, we injection-mold them with plastics and we do all kinds of cool stuff, is that we could build 10,000 per week. So this gets to be a very interesting proposition to the bond market. And so we can come in and we can look at a $19 billion a year bond event for those types of volumes. And then if we go up to ten factories, let's say we don't get there by the end of the decade, but we get there by 2035, now it becomes a very large proposition. 191 billion down here. So you can play around with this. We actually have live feeds to the climate bonds and what they're trading at right now. So you can come in and see, every 15 minutes we update what the latest bond has traded at.

    And anyhow, you can do a lot of simulations. Here's what the customers in Africa would pay, in Kenya, Africa, and here's what they're paying in Costa Rica. And our mission is like, how do we finance a woman weaving baskets in the middle of Africa? And we believe it's through this trade where we're trading power purchase agreements. We have commitments on that. We have tax credits that have value. Maybe the carbon credits will come back; we're counting carbon credits. And we create this new sustainable economy. So there's 10,000 of these systems going out every week. We're going to create lots of renewable energy jobs. And so we create this whole new economy, which is very important to us and important for ownership of the factory and the land that it heads to.

    So anyhow, these are all kinds of graphs and charts on different metrics that you can play around with. And you can go from a five-year bond to a ten-year bond, look at the different coupon payments on that. And then obviously the bond manager has a role of distributing the capital to the installers and the Lloyd's of London that have the insurance on the package, and our company that makes the product. So we're not really moving the money, we're just making it all fundable. So when we do it in blocks of, you know, a thousand customers every five days, it becomes quite an exciting opportunity. And then we start copying the factory. We can really move some big capital.

    So this is something: climate is here, it's not going anywhere. It's actually a great bond investment because people have to have power, and it's going to be around for a long time. All of our products, we're really working hard to engineer them for a 50-year service life. So this is a nice revenue stream that could get stretched out for many generations. And anyhow, this is the whole thing about how we do it at scale. Here's a little box with a solar panel on board. And it trades solar power to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and things like that. So it becomes a revenue stream. And that's all being built right now and tested. And here's the electronics package.

    It's got a microprocessor on board. And so in semiconductors, there's hundreds of layers that you stack up these little switches that are firing to make your video happen and all your different computer events. And so they're so small these days, there's billions of them, that the printing process makes flaws. And they're always unique, they're never the same flaw. And so when you start up your phone in the morning, or once a month you reboot, it says, don't go use those flaws because they're bad. Go around them and use different sectors. And so we can create this, essentially a crypto account on the circuit board. And we put this little chip on there.

    It's, like, two USD, called a PUF chip. And the PUF chip creates a crypto account. So now we have a secure basis that we know how many electrons we sold and how much we're able to sell. And if the device goes down, we have all these scenarios that are built in. So on this $50 circuit board, we can create that trading platform, and it talks to the Internet and it monitors and gets calibrated once a year. It's really, really cool how we've developed this. So anyhow, that's how we trade at scale. It becomes a very, very wonderful bond opportunity. And I'm in America here, so I know our bonds are getting all screwed up, but this might be a nice platform to move your bonds into.

    And we can start building these things immediately and really start moving some coupons that get serviced by the commodities market. So anyhow, thank you very much for taking time to learn about this. I'm Pat Conarro. I'm the CEO at ANEW Energy, and as they say in Costa Rica, pura vida, which means the pure life. And anyhow, thank you very much. Have a great day. I appreciate your time learning about this.

    Transcripts are lightly edited for readability: filler words removed, names and product terms corrected, and one editor's note added on certification status. The figures Pat reads out come from the interactive model above and are illustrative, not forecasts; where a spoken number differs from the model, the model is current. ANEW Energy is registered with the Climate Bonds Initiative and working toward certification, planned to be in place by the time the products are in production. It is not yet certified.

    The Accountability Ladder

    Eight claims, ranked by how much of each is already true.

    A strategy is only as believable as its weakest link. We rank ours from the claims the market has already proven, down to the ones that are still assumptions. Anything below the line depends on everything above it.

    ClaimStatusEvidence, and what moves it up
    1. Climate capital wants certified paper
    The demand exists at scale.
    ProvenAligned green, social and sustainability debt has cleared US$1 trillion of issuance a year for three straight years, about US$6.8 trillion cumulative, per Climate Bonds Initiative reporting. Nothing ANEW does changes this number; it is the ocean we sail in.
    2. Every coupon stream has a listed price
    Power, certificates, credits, allowances.
    ProvenCME Group, Nodal Exchange, EEX, Nord Pool, ICE, Xpansiv CBL and the carbon registries already trade these instruments daily. ANEW does not need to build a market, only to deliver verifiable volume into existing ones.
    3. Pooled rooftop paper can be sold
    Someone has done the structure before.
    Proven elsewhereSunrun has issued about US$2.6 billion of securities repaid by homeowner solar payments. Panasolar listed Panama's first certified green bond, US$15.5 million, on Latinex; Bladex runs a US$300 million revolving programme there. Comparable structure, different sponsor.
    4. Generation can be verified at the device
    Signed meter data from every ANEW product.
    In progressThe communications board is designed and in design-for-manufacturing review; pilot units, not fleet data, exist today. Moves up when certified units report from real installations for a full year.
    5. The products are certified
    UL and CE files for the E2X line-up.
    In progressThe fourteen-product validation programme runs eighteen months once funded. Moves up product by product as each certificate is issued; no basket can include an uncertified system.
    6. Factory 1 exists
    A replicable line producing complete systems.
    PlannedThe distributed-products pilot line is scoped at about US$50 million and eighteen to twenty-four months to operation; the capital is not yet raised. Everything in the model below starts the clock here.
    7. The note programme is registered and listed
    SMV registration, Latinex listing, Euroclear.
    PlannedIn structuring. A shelf cannot be registered against boards that have not run, so this follows claims 4 to 6, not the other way round. Moves up with a structuring bank, a trustee and a verifier under mandate.
    8. Factories 2 to 10 copy Factory 1
    The copy-factory thesis.
    AssumedDepends on every claim above and on a first basket that performs. Believable as a direction, not yet as a schedule. The model shows what it would mean if it happened, which is different from saying it will.

    Status labels are ANEW's own assessment as of September 2026 and will be revised as evidence arrives. Market figures from Climate Bonds Initiative, Latinex and public exchange and issuer reporting.

    Why It Is Hard

    The factory is not the bottleneck. The paper is.

    🏭

    A factory scales in months

    Run the model at one factory and a thousand systems a week and note issuance passes the entire US$500 million shelf inside the first year. Manufacturing capacity is the easy half of the problem to buy.

    📜

    A shelf scales in years

    Each re-up of the ceiling is a regulatory filing, a verifier report and a book of investors who have seen the previous series perform. The first US$50 million series will take longer than the factory that produced the systems behind it.

    👷

    Installers scale in people

    Every system needs a certified crew on a roof. The model shows how many. That is why the trades programme and the installer network are part of the funding strategy, not a separate mission.

    ANEW Energy is not a lender, broker-dealer or investment adviser. This page is for information only and is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy, any security. The note programme is in structuring; nothing is registered or offered. Programme terms are subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

    How Your Project Gets Paid For

    Every product we make is born fundable.

    The hard part of clean energy is not the hardware. It is that a single roof, farm or clinic is too small for a bank to look at. So we build the financing into the product. The same board ships inside every ANEW system, sells its power under contract, proves every kilowatt-hour it delivers, and lets thousands of small systems be pooled into paper the bond market can actually buy.

    ANEW communications board REV-04

    Communications board REV-04, in design-for-manufacturing review. Pilot units exist; fleet data does not yet. How the board works →

    1. 1

      Sell the power before you buy the hardware

      A power purchase agreement on the system sells its electricity before the system is financed. The project starts with contracted revenue from a named buyer instead of a forecast, and that is the difference between a loan application and a bond.

    2. 2

      Prove every kilowatt-hour

      The communications board measures output at the source and signs each reading with a hardware identity that cannot be copied. Nobody has to take your word for it, or ours.

    3. 3

      Pool it into certified paper

      Thousands of signed, contracted systems pool into a weekly country basket. The basket is verified and drawn as a series under a planned Climate Bonds-certified note programme, and the contracted power services the coupon every month.

    ANEW Energy is registered with the Climate Bonds Initiative and working toward certification, planned to be in place by the time the products are in production. It is not yet certified. Nothing here is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security.
