Latin American investors should anticipate shifting demands from high- to low-emission industries

Climate change is reshaping the global economy, affecting production in industries that are highly dependent on natural resources and changing consumer demands. As countries aim to curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and consumers seek more sustainable products and services, demand is shifting away from high-emission industries toward more sustainable alternatives. Global investors are recognising this opportunity: Sustainable funds attracted a record US$69.2bn in net flows in 2021, a 35% increase over 2020, when the previous record was set.1

However, investors have yet to fully recognise the opportunity presented by the net-zero transition in Latin America. Currently, the region only contributes to 2% of global green bond issuance. 2

With immense natural capital and a growing urban population, Latin America stands to become a crucial player in the green economy. From sustainable agriculture to clean energy and transport, investment in low-emission industries and ecosystem services can become an avenue of long-term growth for Latin American investors. This article explores how the demand for low-carbon alternatives is creating investment opportunities in some of Latin America’s key economic sectors, which also capitalise on the region’s unique natural assets. Our research found that:

  • The net-zero transition could reduce the estimated oil and gas production by 2050, as reduced dependency on fossil fuels accelerates the adoption of renewable energies.
  • Issuance of green bonds in Latin America more than doubled in the last two years and is helping finance renewable energy, transportation and land-use projects.
  • Investment in agricultural technologies and sustainable practices could help the sector adapt to shifting demands by enhancing crop yields, address food waste and improve livestock farming.
  • The Amazon Basin, one of the few carbon sinks in the world, contributes to the region’s vast carbon sequestration potential, positioning it as a leader in the voluntary carbon credit markets.

Shifts in Demand and Geopolitical Risks in Energy Markets Create Opportunities for Renewables Energy

To limit climate change’s impacts, countries must pursue net-zero emissions, balancing the amount of GHGs produced and removed. Achieving net-zero will require countries to shift demand from carbon-intensive operations to lower-emission alternatives. In the energy sector, which is currently the source of 46% of Latin American emissions, this would require relying less on fossil fuels and increasing demand for renewable electricity generation, hydrogen and biofuels. 3,4

This shift would challenge the oil and gas industry, which historically has contributed a significant percentage of the region’s GDP. Estimates suggest that by 2050, oil and gas production volumes could be 55% and 70% lower than today.5  The region has already seen a steady decline in revenue from oil over the past decade. On average, oil rent6  in Latin America represents 1.7% of GDP compared with 3% in 2010. For countries such as Mexico, revenue from oil has more than halved in the past 10 years (see Figure 1).

 Source: World Bank (2019) World Economic Indicators.7
Figure 1 depicts the percentage of GDP from oil revenues for Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and the Latin America & Caribbean region between 2010 and 2019. The graph shows a decline of Mexico's oil rent from 4% in 2010 to 1.8 in 2019. For Brazil oil revenues have increased from 1.5% to 2% while Colombia has seen a decrease from 4.4% to 3.7%. Overall the region has seen a decline in oil rent from 2.9% to 1.7% between 2010 and 2019.

The sharp increase of oil and gas prices and the mounting geopolitical risks associated with dependency on fossil fuels could accelerate renewable energy adoption. Amid stock losses because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, renewables are outperforming, as power prices jump and investors seek energy alternatives.8 As industries phase out fossil fuels, Latin America will have to undergo an energy transformation. This shift will require sizable investments in renewable and clean energy sources, representing a long-term opportunity for investors.

Issuance of Green Bonds in Latin America has More than Doubled in Two Years, Enabling the Region’s Net-Zero Transition

Putting a number to this transformation, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) estimates that the cumulative investment opportunity for renewable energy infrastructure in the region amounts to US$555bn by 2030, more than 12% of the region’s current GDP.9

Major asset funds with ESG mandates, insurers and pension funds are contributing to the growth of burgeoning green bond market in the region. Green bonds, which are debt instruments created to fund projects that have positive environmental and/or climate benefits, have become a cornerstone of environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment. Issuance of green bonds in Latin America more than doubled in less than two years—from US$13.6bn in September 2019 to US$30.2bn at the end of June 2021.10  Half of these funds are dedicated to renewable energy projects (mainly solar and wind).

Brazil is the region’s largest green bond market, with US$10.3bn in cumulative issuance, followed by Chile (US$9.5bn) and Mexico (US$4bn). Several new countries have entered the green bond market over the past two years—Barbados, Bermuda, Ecuador and Panama—bringing the total number of green issuer countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to 14.11  However, the market is still nascent. LAC only contributes to 2% of global green bond issuance, compared with 40% from Europe.12

While energy is the most funded sector in the green bond market, there are several other industries that present opportunities in the net-zero economy, including transport and land use (see Figure 2). In Chile, for example, most of the recently issued government bonds are for green transport, including Santiago’s Metropolitan Public Transport System’s new Metro subway lines.13 Land use, a significantly underfunded sector globally, represents over 10% of LAC issuance. The majority of these bonds fund certified agriculture, forestry and paper-related projects, especially from Brazil. However, there are other important sectors that remain unexplored. Buildings and water, two of the most funded sectors globally, are among the most lacking categories in Latin America.14

Figure 2 depicts the breakdown of green bond issuing in Latin America by sector with 44% of bond issuance in the Energy sector, 28% in Transportation, 12% Land use, 6% Buildings, 5% Water, 2% for Water and Industry each, and 1% for ICT.

The Rise of Low-Emission Industries Creates New Opportunities for Investment in the Region

Shifts in energy demand could also impact the agricultural sector, as biofuels are quickly becoming a high-growth sector. A report on the region’s demand for biofuels illustrates this trajectory. While exports of basic agricultural products from Latin America, such as vegetable oil, sugar and cereals, grew at annual rates below 4.5% in the last decade, the bio-based sectors with the highest added-value—biofuels, bioplastics and biofertilisers, grew on average  25%, 20% and 14% annually in the past five years, respectively.16

Source: IIASA NGFS Climate Scenarios Database, REMIND-MagPIE model.17
Figure 3 shows how land cover would shift in a net zero scenario by 2050. Forests would go from a land cover of 3988 million acres in 2020 to 4152 in 2050, energy crops from 7.7 million acres to 178, pastures from 3198 to 3120 million acres and food crops from 1569 to 1462 million acres.

Increasing demand for biofuels might lead farmers to reduce cropland for food production and pasture land to give space to these profitable crops (see Figure 3).18 In order to maintain food production, the region would have to invest in sustainable agriculture to enhance crop yields, address food waste and food traceability, and adapt technology to livestock farming.19

New agricultural technologies (AgTech) could address a variety of problems across the sector, including new production systems, crop and animal protection and genetics, and food processing, logistics and distribution. AgTech also represents one of the most promising sectors for investors. In the United States, farm tech investing soared to US$7.9bn in 2020, topping 2019 investments by US$2.3bn, or 41%.20 Within this, agricultural biotech companies attracted particular interest from investors, with 173 deals closed, up by 58%.

This sector has remained under the radar for Latin American investors, but the region would greatly benefit as one of the world’s largest agricultural producers.21 Data from the Association for Private Capital Investment in Latin America show that there was US$35.4m in venture capital invested in AgTech across 15 disclosed rounds last year. The largest of these went to Colombia-based Frubana, a US$25m Series A round in early 2020.22  However, there are over 450 startups in the region’s AgTech sector. Most of these are concentrated in Brazil (51%), Argentina (23%) and the Andean Region (18%), which are also some of the food baskets of the region. These startups are concentrated in the development of local solutions in areas such as big data and precision agriculture, management software, and platforms for buying and selling services and funding.

Latin America’s Sequestration Potential Positions it as a Leader in the Carbon Credit Market

In addition to clean energy, demand for carbon offsets could impact land-use distribution in the region, as the value of forests increases due to their carbon sequestration potential. Carbon sinks are areas that store more CO2 than they release, and Latin America is home to one of the few remaining net carbon sinks in the world: the Amazon Basin, which stretches across eight countries23 and removes 1.2 Gt of CO2 a year.24

This is only part of the region’s potential. By simply allowing established forests to grow for another 40 years, Latin America would be able to potentially absorb up to 31 billion tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere—equivalent to the total carbon emissions from fossil fuel use and industrial processes in all of LAC from 1993 to 2014.25 26

The region’s large carbon sequestration potential has led it to becoming the world’s second-largest provider of voluntary carbon credits, with just fewer than 20% of the total global credit supply coming from the region in 2020–21 (see Figure 4).

Source: Ecosystem Marketplace.27 28
Figure 4 depicts the voluntary carbon offset volumen transacted by project region in from 2019 through August of 2021. Africa traded 16.1 MtCO2e in 2019 and 23.9 in 2021, Asia traded 45.6 MtCO2e in 2019 and 91.8 in 2021, Europe traded 1.1 MtCO2e in 2019 and 0.8 in 2021, Latin America & the Caribbean traded 15.3 MtCO2e in 2019 and 36.6 in 2021 and North America traded 15.5 MtCO2e and 10 in 2021.
The demand for carbon credits will continue to grow as countries tighten regulations to curb carbon emissions. In just the first half of 2021, the global voluntary carbon market saw a 60% increase compared with 2020, and by the end of 2021, the all-time market value for voluntary carbon is likely to reach US$6.7 bn. At this pace, recent analyses predict the voluntary carbon market demand will grow fivefold to tenfold over the next decade. This demand will be met in part through carbon credit issuances from Latin America–based projects. Europeans purchased 40% of their carbon offsets in 2019 from projects based in LAC.29,30

Latin American countries are sitting on some of the most valuable carbon deposits in the world. The total carbon stock of the region amounts to over 3.9 trillion tonnes, with a value of over US$14.5trn based on the 40$/tCO2e set in the Paris Agreement. At this price level, the value of Brazil’s carbon stock amounts to tenfold its current GDP, while Bolivia’s carbon value is twofold and Colombia’s 80% (see Figure 5).
Source: FAO Global Forest Resource Assessment 2020. 31
Figure 5 depicts the stored carbon value in selected Latin American countries at $40 per ton of CO2 emissions in 2020. Argentina has 25, 573,000 ha of forest area and 162.64 tons per acre of carbon stock, the value of its carbon stock would amount to $75 billions. Bolivia has 50,833,760 ha of forest with a 76.99 tons per acre, total carbon stock, the value of its carbon amounts to $70,5 billions. Brazil has 4,9660,196,000 of forest area with 153.57 tons per acre with a value of $13.7 trillions. Chile has 18,210,700 acres of fores and 211.17 tons per acre of total carbon stock, which amounts to $69.2 billions. Colombia has 59,141,910 acres of forest cover with a total carbon stock of 204.86 with a value of $218.1 billions. Costa Rica has 3,034,870 ha of forest cover with a carbon stock of 241.4 with a value of $13.2 billions. Ecuador has a forest cover of 12,497,830 acres of forest are with a carbon stock of 129.4 with a value of $29.1 billions. El Savador has 583,880 acres of forest area with a total carbon stock of 261.5 tons per acre valued at $2.8 billions. Peru has a forest area of 72,330,370 acres with a total carbon stock of 143.21 valued at $186.5 billions.

Conclusion: A Network Effect Toward Net-Zero

Climate change represents an existential threat and, if left unaddressed, will have devastating environmental and economic impacts in Latin America. However, the transition to a net-zero economy also represents an opportunity for investors looking for long-term returns. The changes in demand from high-emitting goods and services to low-carbon alternatives could have a network effect that shifts resources from one industry to the other. Demand for low-carbon energy sources will affect not only the energy sector, but might also cascade into agriculture and land-use considerations. Other sustainable alternatives might have similar effects on a variety of industries, from waste management to water conservation. Investors who are able to anticipate these effects and make strategic investments will be able to reap the rewards.

KEY RISKS

Sustainable investing (“SI”) and investment approaches that incorporate environmental social and governance (“ESG”) objectives may include additional risks. SI strategies, including ESG SMAs, mutual funds and ETFs, may limit the types and number of investment opportunities and, as a result, could underperform other strategies that do not have an ESG or sustainable focus. Certain strategies focused on particular sectors may be more concentrated in particular industries that share common factors and can be subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens. Investing on the basis of sustainability/ESG criteria can involve qualitative and subjective analysis and there can be no assurance that the methodology utilized, or determinations made, by the investment manager will align with the beliefs or values of the investor. Investment managers can have different approaches to ESG or sustainable investing and can offer strategies that differ from the strategies offered by other investment managers with respect to the same theme or topic. ESG or sustainable investing is not a uniformly defined concept and scores or ratings may vary across data providers that use similar or different screens based on their process for evaluating ESG characteristics. Additionally, when evaluating investments, an investment manager is dependent upon information and data that may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could cause the manager to incorrectly assess an investment’s ESG/ SI performance.

J.P. Morgan takes a global approach to sustainable investing and the solutions offered through our sustainable investing platform meet our internally defined criteria for a sustainable investment. The evolving nature of sustainable finance regulations and the development of jurisdiction-specific legislation setting out the regulatory criteria for a “sustainable investment” or “ESG” investment mean that there is likely to be a degree of divergence as to the regulatory meaning of such terms. This is already the case in the European Union where, for example, under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU) (2019/2088) certain criteria must be satisfied in order for a product to be classified as a “sustainable investment”. Any references to “sustainable investing”, “SI” or “ESG” in this material are intended as references to our internally defined criteria only and not to any jurisdiction-specific regulatory definition.
