1. How do carbon credits help finance e-mobility projects?
➡ By selling verified emission reductions, EV operators and infrastructure developers generate revenue that can be reinvested in expansion.
2. Who can participate in carbon market programs?
➡ EV manufacturers, fleet operators, charge point operators, financial institutions, and leasing companies can all engage in Article 6 programs.
3. What types of e-mobility projects qualify?
➡ Electric buses, trucks, two & three-wheelers, marine transport, and charging infrastructure can generate carbon credits, depending on country regulations.
4. How long does it take to start receiving carbon credit revenue?
➡ Typically, 2 years from project registration, as verification is needed before payments are issued.
5. What are the biggest challenges in using carbon finance for e-mobility?
➡ Regulatory uncertainty, MRV complexity, and project financing delays. Partnering with experienced developers can help navigate these hurdles.
