The cost of capital expresses the expected financial return, or the minimum required rate, for investing in a company or a project. This expected return is closely linked with the degree of risk associated with a company or project cash flows. Another way of referring to the cost of capital is to talk about "financing costs" or the ...

Australia is one part of a global movement toward clean energy, including energy generation, supply chains and transportation. The kinds of projects being delivered are diverse, including those required to produce clean energy, and all ''supporting'' projects crucial to the energy transition such as storage and mining. A few examples include:
Denmark loves clean, renewable energy. The wind production per capita exceeds that of any other OECD country. Moreover, bioenergy plays an important role in the Danish energy system. Clean energy is a Danish passion. Today, 50 per cent of electricity in Denmark is supplied by wind and solar power. Wind energy is well-established in Denmark ...
