Abstract
Neben Risiken, die durch den Klimawandel entstehen, resultieren auch Risiken aus der Transformation der Unternehmen hin zu einer kohlenstoffneutralen Wirtschaft. Denn die emissionsintensiven Produzenten müssen massiv in klimafreundliche Technologien investieren und es ist noch nicht absehbar, wie hoch der Wirkungsgrad dieser Technologien für die Produktion emissionsarmer Güter sein wird, wie hoch die Herstellungskosten diese Güter sein werden und wie hoch die Zahlungsbereitschaft der Käufer für diese Güter sein wird. Kredite, die zur Finanzierung der Transformation dieser Unternehmen vergeben werden, sind also abhängig von diesen Risikofaktoren, die von den Emissionsintensitäten der Branchen abhängen. Als erste Abschätzung wird in diesem Beitrag die Kohlenstoffabhängigkeit der Bankkredite ermittelt. Die neuen Kennzahlen verknüpfen die Treibhausgasemissionen einer Branche mit dem Kreditvolumen, das eine Bankengruppe in diese Branchen vergeben hat. Es zeigt sich, dass finanzierte Emissionen nicht auf einzelne Bankengruppen oder Größenklassen konzentriert sind, sondern dass branchenspezifische Transformationsrisiken in allen Bankengruppen bestehen. Trans-Abstract: In addition to risks arising from climate change, risks also result from the transformation of companies towards a carbon-neutral economy. This is because emission-intensive producers have to invest in climate-friendly technologies and it is not yet possible to predict how efficient these technologies will be for the production of low-emission goods, how high the production costs of these goods will be and how high the willingness of buyers to pay for these goods will be. Loans granted to finance the transformation of these companies are dependent on these risk factors, which depend on the emission-intensities of the industries. In a first step, this article determines the carbon-dependency of bank loans. The new indicators link the greenhouse gas emissions of an industry with the volume of loans that a banking group has granted to the industry. It is shown that these risk factors are not concentrated on certain banking groups or size classes, but that sector-specific transformation risks exist in all banking groups.
