1. Carbon neutral mortgages to promote green homes: While sustainable finance largely focus on offering financial products and tools to investors and businesses, more opportunities for consumers are arising to support and shape the development of a more sustainable economy. The “green” mortgage is a loan product which allows the borrowers to reduce their utility bill costs by enabling them to finance the cost of incorporating energy-efficient features into a new housing purchase or the refinancing of existing housing. Carbon Credit Capital (CCC) and Residential Home Funding Corp. of America (RHF) have developed and brought to market a new mortgage product that reflects its generic counterparts, saving one major difference. The Carbon Neutral Mortgage makes sure that the fees paid by the borrowers to banks and other benefactors, upon closing their loans, should be put towards carbon offset projects to fully alleviate the anticipated carbon footprint of owning and operating the home, for the life of the loan.
