The Montréal Carbon Pledge allows investors (asset owners and investment managers) to formalize their commitment to the goals of the Portfolio Decarbonization Coalition, which mobilises investors to measure, disclose and reduce their portfolio carbon footprints.
Solar CSP is an abbreviation for Concentrating Solar Power energy generation.


Signatories of the pledge formally recognise that “institutional investors ... have a duty to act in the best long-term interests of our beneficiaries. In this fiduciary role, we believe that there are long-term investment risks associated with greenhouse gas emissions, climate change and carbon regulation. In order to better understand, quantify and manage the carbon and climate change related impacts, risks and opportunities in our investments, it is integral to measure our carbon footprint. Therefore, we commit, as a first step, to measure and disclose the carbon footprint of our investments annually with the aim of using this information to develop an engagement strategy and/or identify and set carbon footprint reduction targets."
 
Solar CSP systems use reflectors to focus and concentrate the sun's light energy, typically to raise the temperature of a heat-absorbing heat transfer fluid.
 
The heat energy in the heat transfer fluid is then used in turn to generate electricity, for example through steam turbines.
 
Contrasted with Solar PV systems, which generate electricity directly.

Energy - sustainable finance - green finance.

Solar CSP is an abbreviation for Concentrating Solar Power energy generation.


Solar CSP systems use reflectors to focus and concentrate the sun's light energy, typically to raise the temperature of a heat-absorbing heat transfer fluid.

The heat energy in the heat transfer fluid is then used in turn to generate electricity, for example through steam turbines.

Contrasted with Solar PV systems, which generate electricity directly.
