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
The farmer has been farming since 2000, when he started it on his own by buying 2ha from an agricultural agency. Since then he has managed to expand the farm to 89ha, all of which he owns. He runs the farm together with his son and they are engaged in crop production. Their sowing structure is 54ha of wheat, 10ha of oats and 23ha of corn.
On the farm they use machinery such as:
- VADERSTAD seeder 2010
- METAL FACH tillage roller 2015
- DEUTZFAHR combine 2007
- MANDAM thicker 2014
- CASE tractor 2007
- BERTHOUD sprayer 2009
The farmer plans to upgrade his on-farm machinery in the next 5 years to increase its efficiency. He has applied for a grant to put up a new rainwater tank and purchase new machinery, where he can get up to 60% reimbursement. The loan funds are to be used to purchase a new ROLMAKO chisel plow and a mounted disc harrow.
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.
86 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 870 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 37000 EUR * 12% * 5 year = 22200 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.
