It is anticipated that green hydrogen will require government support for the next 15-20 years and that green hydrogen export projects will have to compete, largely on delivered price, to supply the demand created by the importing government programmes. Efficient project financing, both debt and...

Financial institutions around the world have announced halts to financing of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs). Non-profit and non-governmental organisations have financing, developed databases and reports that provide information on financial data and CFPP projects, as well as the quality of the...

We investigate the relationship between accumulated experience completing wind power projects and the cost of installing wind projects in the U.S. from 2001-2015. Our modeling framework disentangles accumulated experience from input price changes, scale economies, and exogenous technical change;...

This paper presents a methodology which blends sensitivity analysis and fuzzy arithmetic for managing uncertainty in project financing transactions. Specifically, we adopt the perspective of the equityholders and use the average Return On Equity (ROE) to measure shareholder value creation and,...

The global climate change imperative presents a particular challenge because of the scale and nature of the investment needed in developing countries, coupled with the difficulty of raising long term debt in many of them. Project finance can help to address this challenge because it enables...

Effective crowdfunding platforms positively contribute toward improving microgrid energy management systems. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis is required to understand the key factors responsible for success in crowdfunding systems by considering various criteria. This study evaluates...

The market for project finance loans has a special feature: banks do not only compete individually but also through coalitions or “syndicates”. Traditional concentration indicators summarise industry structure based on individual market shares but they fail to capture the dynamics of...

This paper assesses the labour market impact of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) LNG project – the largest resource project ever completed in PNG. It discusses employment during the construction phase from 2010 to 2014 and the subsequent production phase. While national employment figures in the...

Municipal bonds are an option available to many cities to rise long-term financing to finance the infrastructure projects. This study aims to develop and find local measures of creditworthiness that are suitable and applicable for local government units in Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Different...

As one of the main engines of socio-economic development, infrastructure needs additional funding increasingly to meet the growing needs of the population, as well as to meet the new challenges of our time - environmental pollution, poverty, inequality, overpopulation, climate change, reduced...

A common feature of project finance is the creation of an SPV by sponsors. The SPV is an incorporated entity, with no other or previous operations other than the business of the project. Its assets are comprised solely of the assets of the project itself, and absent other arrangements, recourse...

While limited-recourse project financing has been used extensively to finance large infrastructure projects, the rationale for its use is not well understood. In this paper, we develop a dynamic model of a firm’s choice between limited-recourse project financing (separate debt issued against...

This study aims to evaluate the crowdfunding alternatives regarding new service development process pathways of clean energy investment projects. In this framework, a new model has been generated by considering the consensus-based group decision-making with incomplete preferences, Pythagorean...

The purpose of this study is to provide a hybrid group decision-making approach to evaluate fintech-based financial alternatives for green energy investment projects. First, the multidimensional factors of due diligence for fintech-based financing alternatives of green energy investment projects...

Land acquisition for infratructure projects that require large amount of funding can be financed by an equity-like financing protocol. The auction protocol does not require a knowledge of the reservation value of the land acquired nor does it require a determination of post-development value of...

The paper provides an empirical analysis of factors affecting the use of capital market instruments for financing infrastructure public-private partnership (PPP) projects. The findings of the paper contain useful policy guidance as the data provides some evidence to suggest that banks play a...

The paper compares provision of public infrastructure via public-private partnerships (PPPs) with provision under government management. Due to soft budget constraints of government management, PPPs exert more effort and therefore have a cost advantage in building infrastructure. At the same...

Project finance is a system of financing employed to fund large infrastructure facilities, and it has been a driving force of investment in undeveloped countries. While project finance's capacity to facilitate high levels of investment is facially appealing, its implementation and management...

We examine the factors that influence public firms' choice between project financing and corporate financing. Using a sample of 15,191 syndicated deals closed between 2000 and 2016, we find that economies of scale, agency costs of debt, and information asymmetry arguments affect the choice of...

We theoretically analyze the optimal contracts and the capital structure of public-private partnerships (PPPs) formed to implement infrastructure projects under a limited-recourse project financing arrangement. In our model, a sponsoring company and a host government set up a project company in...

Despite growing importance of project loans in funding large-scale projects, there is a void in the literature examining market reactions to project financing. Using a unique hand-collected sample of project finance approval announcements by Australian-listed mining firms, we document a...
