In Short : Through its green bond initiative, Masdar has committed to raising about US $1.7 billion to finance new energy storage, wind, and solar projects in nine countries, including the United Arab Emirates, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Uzbekistan, Serbia, and Azerbaijan. Reducing emissions and increasing renewable capacity are the goals of this strategic deployment.
Investing Strategically in Important Markets
By the end of 2024, more than US $1.685 billion in green bond proceeds had been fully distributed—under its revised Green Finance Framework—to new solar, onshore and offshore wind, and storage projects, according to its 2024 Green Finance Report. Approximately 3,700 tons of CO₂ emissions are avoided annually for every $1 million spent in the US, for a total of roughly 6.28 million tonnes of averted emissions annually. The framework now encourages investments in independent battery storage and green hydrogen, expanding Masdar’s reach in renewable innovation. Through the issue of US $1 billion in green bonds in May 2025 (which was oversubscribed by 6.6×), the program has raised a total of US $2.75 billion since its start in 2023.
Impact and Significance of Clean Energy
Masdar guarantees a certain climate benefit by directing the proceeds of green bonds to new, greenfield projects rather than acquisitions. Significant emissions reductions and the uptake of storage and hydrogen technologies serve as examples of how long-term green finance may hasten the world’s energy transition, improve sustainability, and foster resilience in a variety of geographical areas.
Concerning Masdar
