Green loan
Green Loan is a type of financing that enables farmers to use the proceeds for projects contributing to the environment. For investors, Green Loans give an opportunity to indirectly contribute to the generation of high-quality soil carbon credits, which are later sold on the Voluntary Carbon Market and receive part of the proceeds from their sale.

About the farm
HeavyFinance invites you to invest in a loan for a crop farm in Pasvalys district. The farm has been established since 2000. This year the farmer has declared 372.58 ha of cultivated land, of which 60 ha, according to the farmer, are owned. Farmer together with his son, controls around 600 ha.
He grows wheat, rape and beans.
Over the last few years, the farmer has heavily invested in agricultural machinery, which has enabled him to apply new technologies on his farm. The land is cultivated using no-till technology.
The farmer has applied to the HeavyFinance community for a green loan to be used for the purchase of a rented plot of land. The loan will be secured by a 12.05 ha plot of land.
Main Terms
The principal will be repaid by the farmer in regular instalments over the span of 4 years in accordance with the repayment schedule.
250 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 2444 carbon certificates will be generated in 5 years (based on a conservative estimation). Consequently, investors will receive below indicated portion of sales proceeds from every carbon certificate generated from the land of the project owner involved in the program;
(1) 60% of income received during the loan period;
(2) 40% of income received for the following year after the loan period.
It is expected that the first carbon certificates will be generated and sold in the second quarter of 2026. The exact return will depend on the amount of sequestered CO2 levels and the sale price of the carbon certificates.
If the project owner (farmer) withdraws from the Carbon Credits Agreement and does not intend to follow the agreement on the carbon revenue split with investors, the project owner will be obliged to repay the entire loan as well as pay the penalty, calculated by multiplying the interest rate by the entire loan amount and period equal to the duration of the loan agreement plus 12 (twelve) months.
Investors of this loan would receive a penalty of 84600 EUR * 12% * 5 year = 50760 EUR. This penalty can be reduced by the return earned by investors from the carbon credits generated
If the project fails to be delivered successfully through no fault of the farmer, the farmer commits to paying investors a minimum interest rate of EURIBOR 6M + 1.5%. This commitment applies in situations such as the lack of market demand for selling carbon credits, among others.
Annualized return forecast
- Conservative scenario (€20 per carbon certificate): 14% IRR*
- Today's scenario (€35 per carbon certificate): 22,36% IRR*
- Optimistic scenario (€100 per carbon certificate): 50,16% IRR*
