For buying and refinancing carbon capture equipment
Carbon capture equipment represents a cutting-edge approach to reducing atmospheric CO2 levels, offering a practical solution for the agricultural sector to combat climate change. This technology captures carbon dioxide emissions from sources like farm machinery and stores it, preventing it from entering the atmosphere and contributing to global warming.
The upfront cost for carbon capture systems can be substantial, thus making finance and leasing options particularly appealing for farms and agricultural businesses in the UK. These financial arrangements enable the spreading of costs over time, enhancing affordability and accessibility.
As an aspect of asset finance, the carbon capture equipment itself often acts as collateral for the loan or lease, providing security for the agreement and potentially more advantageous terms. With the UK government’s commitment to a net-zero carbon economy and the recent unveiling of a £20 billion investment to create a competitive carbon capture market, investing in carbon capture technology is not only environmentally responsible but also economically prudent.
For UK farms, embracing carbon capture technology can lead to significant energy savings and potential revenue streams, aligning with the nation’s sustainability goals and providing a greener future for all.
In the UK, a variety of finance options are available for agricultural businesses looking to invest in carbon capture equipment:
Each financing option presents distinct benefits and can be customised to fit the specific needs of a business, ensuring a smooth and economically feasible integration of carbon capture technology.

Financing options for carbon capture equipment are similar to those for other types of agricultural equipment, with possibilities such as hire purchase, finance leases, and operating leases.

Installation and Operational Considerations
Installing carbon capture equipment involves several key components and additional considerations:
It’s also important to consider the long-term financial benefits, such as potential savings from reduced carbon taxes or earnings from selling carbon credits in the carbon market, which currently values carbon credits between £20 to £40 per credit.
For UK farmers interested in exploring carbon capture technology, reaching out to a specialised financial brokers, such as us at Clifton Private Finance, can provide access to tailored financing solutions that align with the unique needs of the agricultural sector.
Typically, carbon capture systems have a lifespan of 15-25 years, depending on the technology and maintenance. Financing agreements should align with this timeframe to ensure cost-effectiveness over the equipment’s operational life.
Financing carbon capture equipment enables farms and businesses to invest in technology that reduces CO2 emissions, directly contributing to the UK’s net-zero targets. This investment is supported by government initiatives and can potentially offer returns through carbon credit markets.
The amount you can borrow typically depends on factors like your credit history, income, cash flow, and the cost of the equipment. Financing up to 100% of the equipment cost is common, though a deposit or guarantor might be necessary.
Finance terms can vary, usually ranging from 12 to 60 months, but may be adjusted based on the lender’s policies and your needs. Extended terms may be available for larger or more complex installations.
Early repayment is possible, but it may incur a penalty or settlement fee. It’s important to review the finance agreement’s terms and consult with your lender or broker for any early termination provisions.
Maintenance costs are typically not included in the finance package. It’s crucial to consider ongoing maintenance when calculating the total cost of ownership for your carbon capture system.

I approached Clifton Private Finance to help me get a mortgage as an Expat working in the Far East. I would normally 'cut out the middle man' on something like this and try to get myself a deal directly with the banks, but I am now sold on the broker concept and wouldn't hesitate to use Clifton Private Finance again. There were a number of complicating factors such as being an expat, the stamp duty holiday, the sheer amount I wanted to borrow and the fact I wanted it all wrapped up before the Stamp Duty holiday ended. It is clear to me now that the relationship that brokers have managed to foster with their banks means they can simply pull levers and make stuff happen that us ordinary folk cannot. Put simply, they are worth every penny, will take most of the stress out of the lending process, and seem to have access to deals that you just won't find on the internet. Thank you George and Jan for all your hard work!

Luther was excellent. Very clear in his advice and explanations of products and was able to move things on very quickly when we ran into difficulties with the estate agents. Without a doubt I would recommend Luther to all friends, family and colleagues. Luther was a joy to deal with and took a lot of the stress out of a troublesome transaction, from my end. I would view Luther as real asset to Clifton Private Finance Ltd.

The team at Clifton Private Finance has been outstanding, not only in helping me to obtain a mortgage on a slightly unusual home, but also in continuing to provide support and liaise with the lender and solicitors through to completion. Thank you for making the process of buying my first home much easier.

Sam O'Neill, and the new lender he identified for me, worked tirelessly together using my time constraints, to make sure my mortgage application was completed on time. They are a brilliant company to work with, fast, efficient, open and transparent from the very beginning, and turned a seemingly impossible situation into a viable one. Sam was brilliant throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend him, and his colleague Helen, to anyone without hesitation, I cannot speak highly enough about them.

I was incredibly lucky to find Clifton Private Finance after a search on line as their service has been more than exemplary. My point of contact was Sam 0’Neill and he was happy to help at every stage during the application of the bridging loan, making a stressful process much easier to deal with. He was always available by phone or email and gave prompt answers to queries I had as well as always getting back to me when he said he would. That to me is excellent customer service and I cannot thank him personally or the company enough for the support they have given me.

Adam cannot thank you enough for all your support throughout this arrangement. You have gone more than the extra mile to support us. Without you we would not have got our dream retirement home. You have been most professional and personable. Liz and I would be more than happy if you wanted to use us a reference with respect to any future clients.

You have certainly shown me that you do everything for your clients, including tolerating their excessive emails and questions for updates. I have been kept in the loop, from yourself, about why the delays were occurring (Nationwide, post etc) which I would like to highlight that I really appreciated. I certainly will be able to recommend you to others as and when the need arises.
Mr Morris
I recently contacted Clifton Private Finance after a Google search for bridging finance providers and was immediately struck by their efficiency and support. Forms were emailed over almost immediately and the necessary finance was arranged within a few days. None of the other companies I contacted came close to their professionalism, and the quote that I eventually received was impressive. Thank you Adam, your help has enabled us to reserve the house that we wanted and I certainly recommend you to others.

Absolutely brilliant. The service was first class, got everything sorted efficiently and were always friendly. Any fees were negligible compared to the service offered. Robert was particularly outstanding.

My advisor, Robert, was very helpful in finding the mortgage to suit me. He kept me up to date throughout the process and dealt with any issues when they arose.
