Carbon as a Value-driver: Barriers to Unlocking Finance for Low carbon Projects

Carbon as a Value-driver: Barriers to Unlocking Finance for Low carbon Projects through Carbon Credits | GenZero Climate Summit Insights: Legal & Accounting Forum – in collaboration with Allen & Gledhill, HFW and Linklaters | 20 May

This panel will explore how the potential of carbon as a core value proposition and revenue stream in the financing and structuring of low carbon projects globally and in Asia can be accessed? As markets develop how can carbon reductions start to be seen as a primary driver of investor returns rather than just a policy or marketing by-product?
Our panellists will discuss the blockers and potential work arounds that could allow finance to scale.

The panel was led by:
• Benjamin Goss, Head of Legal, Infrastructure & Development Finance and Sustainability, Standard Chartered Bank
• Chris Staples, Corporate Partner, Sector leader for Energy & Utilities, Co-head of Global Commodities Group, London, Linklaters

The panel discussion was moderated by Xylia Sim, Energy & Infrastructure Partner, Singapore, Linklaters

The GenZero Climate Summit is our flagship annual event, which gathered global leaders from the climate ecosystem to accelerate global decarbonisation.

Themed “Beyond Binaries”, the GenZero Climate Summit 2026 confronts a persistent problem in climate discourse: the tendency to force complex, interdependent challenges into false choices such as nature or technology, markets or regulation. The conference took place from 18-22 May 2026 in Singapore.
