Faculty

Ms. Levin-Nussbaum's practice encompasses a broad spectrum of US federal income tax matters, with a particular emphasis on renewable energy transactions and financing.
Description
Structuring and financing carbon capture development is complex. Attorneys, investors, and developers must have a firm grasp of the legal framework and regulation of carbon capture, available financing options, and pitfalls to avoid.
A variety of funding sources exist for municipalities and corporations interested in securing financing for carbon capture projects. However, securing the necessary capital remains a difficult endeavor.
To meet the demands and strides toward clean energy, new products continue to emerge and existing products are evolving to meet the significant growth, putting even more pressure on the demand for capital. Counsel to companies and investors must understand the markets and tools available to leverage financing trends to their advantage.
Listen as our authoritative panel of energy attorneys examines the financing of carbon capture projects, financial incentives that are available, sources of capital, and debt and equity structures, as well as offers best practices for financing renewable energy.
