ESG Financial Intelligence · Issue 10
Five signals from the last 72 hours — from a ≈US$6M airline carbon-credit bill to ≈US$850M of battery-storage financing.
By the numbers
Editorial rule: no monetary value, no entry. Every figure is labelled as directly reported, a scenario range or context, with method and sources on file.
Carbon removal
A first-of-a-kind rock-mineralisation project gets a multi-year buyer commitment — ≈ US$559 per tonne, committed value, not cash paid.
Directly reportedEnergy storage
Construction and term loans, preferred equity and tax-credit transfers are stacked to fund a grid-scale battery in Massachusetts.
Directly reportedLoss & damage
The Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage could make its first allocation tied to a specific climate disaster — if the board approves on 22 October.
Directly reportedAviation compliance
The CEO expects the bill to rise: carbon compliance is turning into a recurring operating cost for a major African carrier.
Directly reportedCarbon credits
The deal's price is undisclosed; the headline figure is the company's annual revenue objective for its carbon business, not the contract value.
