Leveraging Climate Opportunities
Renewable energy projects can provide governments with an additional source of revenue, see examples below.

Leveraging Knowledge Generators, eg science parks or innovation hubs. Co-location with universities or other generators of knowledge/capacity can attract new energy, innovation and higher rents while also creating opportunities for local land-owners.
Leveraging regulatory changes, eg special economic zones, land zoning, using regulatory regimes, marketing and tax breaks.
By-product Commercialization e.g. refuse derived fuel, methane capture, biochar, energy-from-waste, compost or recycling.
E-Commerce Services, where the infrastructure creates a virtual space.
Urban congestion zone charges provide a method for reducing congestion, improving environmental impact, reducing accidents, and creating an additional revenue stream for transit projects in the zone.
Betterment levy are charges based on the specific benefit properties receives from public improvements.
Infrastructure projects should consider cost savings from e.g. building energy efficiency, LED streetlighting, rooftop or floating solar.
Results Based Payments from Third Parties e.g. Emissions Reduction Credits/offsets or Renewable Energy Certificates.
Some infrastructure is used intensively only at certain times, for example, sporting facilities or educational facilities, and these facilities can be used for revenue-generating purposes during off-periods.
