This course will enrich participants with the challenges and risks constraining investment.
Green hydrogen is a game-changer for achieving net-zero emissions, but high upfront costs pose a significant barrier to investment.
This course tackles this challenge head-on by exploring the power of support mechanisms. Learn how these mechanisms, such as investment grants and financing assistance, can significantly reduce project costs and financing expenses, paving the way for a more economically viable green hydrogen future. This is particularly relevant for developing economies, where robust support structures can unlock the full potential of this clean energy source.
This course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of green hydrogen investments, and will explore the critical role of due diligence in lowering the Cost of Capital, leading to potential cost reductions.
Participants will gain enough knowledge about strategies to mitigate key risks associated with green hydrogen projects, including regulatory uncertainties, market fluctuations, and technological concerns.
Finally, the course explores how to leverage policy and regulatory frameworks to your advantage, ensuring your green hydrogen projects are well-positioned for success.
