Techno‐Economic Assessment of Manufacturing Membrane Electrode Assemblies for PEM Fuel Cells: Focus on Coating Technologies

Fuel Cells, Volume 26, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High manufacturing costs of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells remain a significant obstacle to their widespread adoption in transportation applications. To address this, roll‐to‐roll (R2R) processes are proposed to increase production throughput and reduce membrane electrode assembly (MEA) costs. Among R2R‐compatible coating processes,

An empirically validated open-access approach for calculating the cost of capital of renewables

Energy Strategy Reviews
Reaching climate targets requires a massive build-out of renewable energy (RE), the cost of which is critical to the feasibility and speed of this build-out. As demonstrated in energy system modelling, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of RE is

Securing Bangladesh's Nuclear Future: Is the Regulated Asset Base Model the Answer to Address Project Corruption?

Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 7, Issue 1, Spring/Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Bangladesh's goal of achieving high‐income status by 2041 requires dependable, low‐emission, and affordable energy. With near‐universal grid coverage and increasing demand, nuclear energy is a strategic asset for long‐term baseload supply. However, the existing financing model, typified by the country's most expensive $12.65 billion Rooppur ...

Adjustment of the WACC with Subsidized Debt in the Presence of Corporate Taxes: the N-Period Case [PDF]

In the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) applied to the free cash flow (FCF), we assume that the cost of debt is the market, unsubsidized rate. With debt at the market rate and perfect capital markets, debt only creates value in the presence of ...

Synergizing Public Incentives and Private Capital: A Hybrid RAB‐RBF Framework for Low‐Carbon Energy Infrastructure Access in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 7, Issue 1, Spring/Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Regulated asset base (RAB) and results‐based financing (RBF) are key emerging infrastructure finance models, offering stable returns (RAB) and outcome‐based incentives (RBF). This perspective proposes a hybrid RAB‐RBF model to bridge the “viability gap” in developing regions and catalyze low‐carbon energy infrastructure access where cost ...
