How to Turn Clean Energy Incentives Into Bankable Capital (Avoiding Recapture Risk)

How to Turn Clean Energy Incentives Into Bankable Capital (Avoiding Recapture Risk)

Jan 28, 2026

In this webinar, Eliot Assimakopoulos (CEO, Realizse) explains how clean energy incentives (federal + state) can be turned into insured, bankable capital—helping projects get financed without taking on major recapture risk.

Topics covered:

  • Why incentive “recapture risk” blocks project finance (and how it becomes a contingent liability)

  • Incentive stacking: ITC + 179D + federal/state/utility rebates (example heat pump program)

  • The trust problem: fragmented compliance docs, no chain of custody, limited provenance

  • The Realizse Passport: a cryptographically verifiable “digital twin” for project + product compliance data

  • How trusted data enables insurers to underwrite/price risk and unlock capital

  • Live product + project passport demo, plus how quotes (e.g., ITC recapture insurance, 179D) can be requested

Notable examples mentioned:

  • Heat pump program case study showing how stacking can scale impact vs. incentives left unused

  • 179D overview (eligible measures; lookback window; challenges integrating into finance)

  • Illustrative pricing example for tax credit coverage (program-level)
