Danske Bank - partner of Mistra Carbon Exit

Danske Bank supports Mistra Carbon Exits mission because it is of great importance to our society and to our customers. To contribute with our expertise fits well with our ambitions as a bank. By taking part in the work of Mistra Carbon Exit we can gain more knowledge about the problems regarding fossil-free technologies for basic industry and transport, as well as the requirements a readjustment to a less fossil-dependent society demands on the financial industry.

In the Mistra Carbon Exit-programme Danske Bank can contribute with knowledge concerning financing solutions and financial techniques, as well as how technical solutions can be translated into financial practice. We can also share our insights from the large institutional investors who want to contribute to society through long-term investments in infrastructure and new production techniques.

The challenges for the financial industry include finding the right investment opportunities that could provide the desired long-term return for both investors and society, as well as the conditions for making the right risk assessment of their investments. Mistra Carbon Exit can help with a scientific and practical perspective and provide knowledge building.
