Knowledge Base

Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) is different from the Bloomberg Terminals in the library. BNEF doesn't provide academic subscriptions, which means the only option is to get a single-user subscription that also requires a finger print reader for the authorized individual to use the platform.
