Given the significant investment needed for clean energy projects and increased capital costs, the energy sector faces challenges to get innovative projects beyond early development. While these issues are not unique to the energy industry, factors such as complex risk profiles, the high cost of capital, unproven technologies, and unpredictable policy incentives further exacerbate the situation. For these first of their kind projects to attract capital and technological development, existing technical and regulatory challenges must be overcome to prove viability and instil investor confidence.
