Special Issue Information
As the world continues to shift towards renewable and sustainable energy, finance becomes increasingly critical in enabling the growth and advancement of new energy technologies and solutions. Many countries worldwide have made significant progress in developing new energy sources as part of their commitment to reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change. A large number of renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar power, hydropower, and biomass, have been heavily invested in recent years. With continued financial support, the acceleration of its new energy development and a vigorous future of sustainability will soon be expected.
Finance plays a crucial role in driving the development, investment, and scalability of new energy solutions. It provides the necessary capital for research and implementation of renewable energy projects. Through financial instruments such as clean energy stocks and green bonds, financial individuals and institutions engage in mitigating the environmental and climate impact of traditional energy sources. How to optimize the investing efficiency and capital structure in new energy companies and industries is important for promoting the transition towards a more sustainable energy future. Additionally, the financialization facilitates reasonable and fair pricing for various new energy commodities, it however brings complicated risk and unexpected fluctuation.
