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.

Can capital help solve climate change?
Thanks to Green Loans, a new Heavy Finance investment product, the answer is yes!
Green Loans allow you to provide financing for environmental solutions making a real positive change to our climate while making a great return on your investment. At HeavyFinance, we open the door for retail and institutional investors to the growing market of carbon certificates, offering an opportunity for a significant return with a significant impact. We encourage you to learn more about the potential of the carbon certificate market on our blog.
What are carbon certificates?
A carbon certificate is a unit of exchange that companies and organisations can use to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. One carbon certificate is equivalent to one metric ton of greenhouse gases removed from the atmosphere, and farmers engaged in no-till practice on average remove 2.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide per hectare from the atmosphere every year.
As the current market price of a single carbon certificate is within the range of 25 - 35 EUR, only one hectare of agricultural land with adopted no-till practice can generate 58 - 81 EUR per year.
As more and more companies are targeting zero net emissions goals, the demand and therefore the price of carbon certificates is expected to increase over time. Moreover, as all HeavyFinance sustainability projects are verifiable and accurately track their actual carbon dioxide sequestration, the quality of our carbon certificates can be sold at a market premium, further increasing the return on investment. Read more on carbon certificate pricing in our blog and learn why HeavyFinance provides you with the best exposure to the carbon market.
About the farm
We invite HeavyFinance community to invest in a loan for a farmer that started farming in 2005 when he took over his parents farm. The farmer currently declares 293.71 ha of arable land, of which 143 ha is owned.
Farmer grows wheat and barley. The crops are sold to UAB Agrorodeo, UAB Skandagra, UAB Agrochema, UAB Biržų bekonas.
Farmer plans to start growing cattle in the future.
Farmer together with his wife hires 3 employees that works on the farm.
Farmer has harvester, seeder, cultivator, trailers and smaller pieces of equipment.
This is farmer's first loan on a HeavyFinance platform. The farmer is asking for a loan to increase his working capital. The loan will be secured by 6 land plots owned by the farmer.
Main Terms
The principal will be repaid by the farmer in regular instalments over the span of 5 years in accordance with the repayment schedule.
All 180 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 1987 carbon certificates will be generated in 6 years (based on a conservative estimation). Consequently, investors will receive a portion of sales proceeds from every carbon certificate generated throughout the span of 6 years as the following terms;
- 60% of income share during the loan period
- 40% of income share for the following year after the loan period
It is expected that the first carbon certificates will be generated and sold in the fourth quarter of 2024. The exact return will depend on the amount of sequestered CO2 levels and the sale price of the carbon certificates.
If the farm withdraws from the Green Loan without a period of at least 6 years has elapsed, it undertakes to reimburse 11% annual interest.
CO2 emissions to be removed from the atmosphere because of this loan are equal to 36,8 million kilometres driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle.
Annualized return forecast
- Conservative scenario (€20 per carbon certificate): 14.5% IRR*
- Today's scenario (€35 per carbon certificate): 25.1% IRR*
- Optimistic scenario (€100 per carbon certificate): 71.9% IRR*
