Strategic business risk evaluation for sustainable energy investment and stakeholder engagement: A proposal for energy policy development in the Middle East through Khalifa funding and land subsidies

Abstract

This article projects business risk through deferent industrial scenarios in concentrated solar investments in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Nationwide, the government seeks a sustainable solution through energy policy development and engagement of the stakeholders for clean energy generation at wider level in the long run. Support has been extended through various support schemes. In the current study, Monte Carlo simulations and net present value (NPV) risk are used to analyse the return on investment. A 5 MW concave solar panel project is evaluated. We have assessed the impact of local factors on profits through NPV. The study proposes that a higher NPV is expected if the concave solar panel project is financed 50% by Khalifa funding. The study also proposes a robust policy and highlights the opportunity of business profitability if the government subsidises land leasing with respect to each scenario. Additionally, the study also proposes a policy to maintain the interests of investors in the UAE.

Past, present, and future of sustainable finance: insights from big data analytics through machine learning of scholarly research

“…Other important keywords or topics in the cluster that are researched in conjunction with energy financing include “private sector”, “energy policy”, “alternative energy”, “financial services”, “fossil fuel”, “economic growth”, “Africa”, “environmental impact”, and “investment incentive”. Under this cluster, researchers have shed light on impact investment options that include energy finance focusing on alternative and renewable energy (Geobey & Callahan, 2017 ; Marti, 2013 ), including in developing economies such as the Middle East (Sisodia et al, 2020 ), among others.…”

An inventory of biodiversity data sources for conservation monitoring

“…Local and international NGOs, as well as academia and businesses, have a significant role to play in supporting government agencies and it is encouraging to see that several global efforts to improve biodiversity monitoring explicitly target high-biodiversity countries [ 30 , 41 ]. Some of the large biodiversity databases could be useful tools for business throughout project planning and implementation [ 6 , 73 ], so businesses could in turn share data of use to resource-strapped governments and contribute more to the costs of data source maintenance.…”

“…This will become even more important as the world commits to post-2020 biodiversity targets [ 5 ]. In addition to governments and civil society organisations, businesses striving for sustainability also struggle to identify suitable indicators and data sets [ 6 ]. Effective, evidence-based biodiversity conservation and natural resource management requires data on the state of species and habitats, the threats and pressures they face, and the policies and actions implemented to address them.…”

Improving the quality of project management at energytech through marketing in support of sustainable and environmental development of energy economics

“…The fundamental basis of the research carried out in this article was laid by the scientific concept of EnergyTech as a field of high technologies in the energy economy. Project management at EnergyTech focuses on internal business priorities (Goyal et al, 2014;Sisodia et al, 2020;Štreimikienė et al, 2022;Teichmann et al, 2020), and therefore, this type of management is usually quantified in terms of costs and benefits, as well as their ratio (financial efficiency) (Buah et al, 2020;Martinez and Komendantova, 2020;Onubi et al, 2022).…”
