Description
The funding instrument “Guarantee Instrument for Transformation Industries” offers nationwide publicly supported guarantee participation to secure guarantee financing for manufacturers and suppliers working on the development and implementation of decarbonization technologies. In cooperation with private financing partners, KfW assumes up to 50% of the default risk, thereby enabling more flexible financing structures, terms, and conditions. Eligible are commercial enterprises and project companies with predominantly private ownership – both domestic and foreign – from sectors such as power generation, energy storage, hydrogen/CCU-CCS, heat and cold generation, or the automotive industry. This program thus facilitates market access and relieves equity and risk structures without KfW becoming the largest risk bearer.
Applications are submitted continuously via house banks or other credit institutions acting as financing partners and coordinating KfW’s participation upon invitation. Combined use with other public funds is possible, provided that the total share of public guarantees in the default risk does not exceed 50%. For submission, the KfW Information Sheet Guarantee Instrument for Transformation Industries (No. 877) suffices as a reference document. Through this guarantee support, companies benefit from optimized financing conditions and risk reduction for projects that make a significant contribution to climate neutrality and energy efficiency.
