A derivative instrument or contract is one whose value and other characteristics are derived from those of another asset or instrument (sometimes known as the Underlying Asset).
Solar CSP is an abbreviation for Concentrating Solar Power energy generation.


Derivative instruments are widely used by non-financial corporates for hedging purposes.


Solar CSP systems use reflectors to focus and concentrate the sun's light energy, typically to raise the temperature of a heat-absorbing heat transfer fluid.

The heat energy in the heat transfer fluid is then used in turn to generate electricity, for example through steam turbines.


A share option is a type of derivative contract, allowing the holder to buy shares at a certain predetermined strike price.
Contrasted with Solar PV systems, which generate electricity directly.
 
The value of the share option derives from the current price of the related underlying share relative to the option strike price.

Energy - sustainable finance - green finance.

Solar CSP is an abbreviation for Concentrating Solar Power energy generation.


Solar CSP systems use reflectors to focus and concentrate the sun's light energy, typically to raise the temperature of a heat-absorbing heat transfer fluid.

The heat energy in the heat transfer fluid is then used in turn to generate electricity, for example through steam turbines.

Contrasted with Solar PV systems, which generate electricity directly.
