FINANCING THE ENERGY TRANSITION

von Scott-Quinn Brian

Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book presents an in-depth look at both the financing and essential technologies of the clean energy transition, providing a uniquely comprehensive guide for professionals, academics, and policymakers.The financing chapters examine the full spectrum of instruments and structures involved in the transition, from venture capital and private equity to green bonds, green loans, and innovative mechanisms such as the Exeltium structure, supranational financing, public-private partnerships, and asset recycling. Case studies of wind, solar, nuclear, and other projects illustrate practical applications of these approaches, and risk mitigation techniques are also discussed.On the technological side, the book explores advanced nuclear systems for electricity and heat generation, alongside technologies for hydrogen production, carbon capture, concentrating solar power, and e-fuels. It highlights the rapidly growing demand for clean electricity driven by the rise in 'hyperscaler' AI data centres, and describes the emerging solutions to this problem. A further theme is carbon accounting and the measurement of how 'clean' technologies and companies truly are. This complex area is elucidated by considering how value creation, societal impact, and emissions data intersect in corporate finance and reporting.This book offers a rigorous, integrated perspective on the techno-financial dynamics shaping the global shift to clean energy, aiming to inform decision-makers and, in its own way, contribute to accelerating this vital transition.
