DEFINITIONS: ASSET CLASSES

Venture capital & private equity (VCPE)

Early and late stage VC funding rounds as well as funds raised privately for the purposes of expansion by companies that are primarily involved in the clean energy industry according to BNEF exposure ratings.

Public markets (PM) New equity raised on capital or over-the-counter markets by publicly quoted companies that are primarily involved in the clean energy industry according to BNEF exposure ratings . This may be through initial public offerings (IPOs) or follow-on offerings (secondary, PIPEs, convertibles etc).

Asset finance (AF) The new-build financing of renewable energy generating projects. This includes both electricity generating and biofuel production assets. Projects may be financed via the balance sheets of the project owners, or through financing mechanisms such as syndicated equity from institutional investors, or project debt from banks.

Asset finance (EST) Same as above, but for digital energy and energy storage sub categories of the Energy Smart Technologies sector. We only calculate this on an annual basis, so will not be included in quarterly investment estimates.

Re-invested equity Isolates values for balance-sheet-financed project investments (AF) by companies that have raised money through VC/PE investors or on the capital markets over the past 12 months. The purpose of this calculation is to prevent double-counting upon aggregation of project investments and company investments when calculating total new financial investment in clean energy.

Small-scale solar Rooftop solar PV below 1MW in capacity. Given the difficulty in tracking individual residential-scale projects, our main asset finance database excludes projects below a certain threshold. This threshold for most tracked sectors is around 1MW. To compensate for this, we add back top-level estimates for missed deals of this nature.

Government R&D Government R&D figures are sourced from the IEA, IMF, OECD, various government agencies and the BNEF green stimulus dataset.

Corporate R&D The Bloomberg terminal is used to source Corporate R&D figures for key quoted companies in each clean energy sector, supplemented by data from the BNEF desktop and insight.

DEFINITIONS: SECTORS

Wind Included in this sector are players across the entire value chain of both onshore and offshore developments. From direct investment into wind farms to funds raised by manufacturers of turbines, components and subassemblies, developers, generators, utilities and engineering firms.

Solar All technologies that capture energy directly from the sun. These include production of electricity using semiconductor-based photovoltaic (PV) materials, use of concentrated sunlight to heat fluid to drive power generation equipment (solar thermal electricity generation or 'STEG'), and passive methods which use solar to replace fossil fuel energy, e.g. to heat water. Whilst company level investment of passive methods is recorded, investment in passive projects is not.

Biofuels Liquid transportation fuels including biodiesel and bioethanol. These can be derived from a range of biomass sources, including sugar cane, rape seed (canola), soybean oil or cellulose. Our database excludes producers of base biomass, but includes suppliers of everything from the processing technologies and equipment, through the logistics of distribution, to manufacturers of energy systems that are specially adapted for the use of biofuels and products, and the services on which they depend.

Biomass & waste Production and consumption of solid and gaseous fuels derived from biomass. Solid biomass for the energy sector can include a number of specially-grown crops, such as elephant grass or coppiced willow, but it can also consist of crop residues such as straw. We include in this sector processors of other waste matter for energy generation, such as sewage waste, chemical by-products and biogas produced from municipal waste, as their exploitation often involves the same technologies as grown-for-purpose biomass.

Other renewables Includes: Small hydro – the generation of electric power from the movement of water, with project capacity between 1MW and 50MW Geothermal – the extraction of useful power from heat stored in the earth Marine – the extraction of energy from the sea.

Energy smart technologies (EST)

This sector covers a range of non-renewable clean energy technologies including digital energy and smart grids, power storage, hydrogen and fuel cells, advanced transportation and energy efficiency on both the demand and supply side. For more in depth definitions of these please visit our corporate website:

Other low-carbon tech / services

This sector covers clean energy service companies such as consultants, government agencies and policy makers, NGOs, financial service providers, investors, and clean energy information providers (such as ourselves). It also covers the corporate activity of organisations across the carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon market value chains.

Notes: (1) The funds raised by green bonds are neither entirely inclusive nor exclusive of figures for clean energy asset finance. (2) 'Corporate', 'sovereign, supranational andagency' and ‘US municipal’ include only bonds explicitly labelled as green and which meet the criteria for receiving a green bond ‘tag’ on the Bloomberg Terminal. (3) 'Project'includes bonds backed by the cash flows of an underlying renewable energy project or portfolio of projects. (4) 'ABS' includes asset-backed securities whose cash flows comefrom a portfolio of underlying receivables such as loans, leases and PPAs where the receivables are associated with green (eg, renewable energy, energy efficiency) projects.‘Extrapolated’ indicates total 2016 issuance assuming that the rate of issue remains unchanged from Q1 2016.
