Green Finance and Investment Leveraging De-Risking Instruments and International Co-ordination to Catalyse Investment in Clean Hydrogen

Clean hydrogen is a nascent technology that could play an essential role to achieve net-zero emissions. However, less than 10% of announced clean hydrogen projects worldwide have reached final investment decision, as equity and debt investors often consider these projects to be too risky. This report provides a better understanding of the risk mitigation strategies to unlock and mobilise private capital for clean hydrogen in emerging markets. It highlights how de-risking instruments can address key barriers faced by investors in clean hydrogen projects and suggests ways to allocate risks among actors. The report also proposes actions to enhance international co-ordination for scaling clean hydrogen financing for development. Furthermore, it draws lessons from case studies showcasing how lighthouse clean hydrogen projects and available economic, de-risking and financing instruments are being implemented in a wide array of countries.

This book is about the mechanisms of wealth creation, or what we like to think of as evolutionary "progress." The massive circular flow of goods and services between producers and consumers is not a perpetual motion machine; it has been dependent for the past 150 years on energy inputs from a finite storage of fossil fuels. In this book, you will learn about the three key requirements for wealth creation, and how this process acts according to physical laws, and usually after some part of the natural wealth of the planet has been exploited in an episode of "creative destruction." Knowledge and natural capital, particularly energy, will interact to power the human wealth engine in the future ...
