Description (excerpt):
Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Ceres and Ken Locklin have collaborated to examine more closely total volumes of capital that will be required to fund clean energy power project development in the electric sector over the next 2.5 decades.
The project’s goals:
- To examine total volumes of capital required in electricity generation under both a “business-asusual” (BAU) scenario and under a “two-degree C” scenario (2ºC) in which sufficient steps are taken to increase clean energy build to ensure global temperatures rise no more than 2ºC. Thus the project name Mapping the Gap, as it aims to better understand the funding “gap” between BAU and 2ºC scenarios.
- To estimate clean electric power infrastructure investment flows via various investment subsectors, such as traditional project finance, asset-backed securities, green bonds, and others.
