With the hydrogen production market estimated to grow by 9.2% per year until 2030, low-carbon hydrogen finance and investment is urgently needed to help transition production away from fossil fuels. With many promising low-carbon hydrogen technologies now requiring funding to enter the market and help it scale, investors and financiers have a critical role to play in the hydrogen energy transition. Can project finance fuel investment? What government support is needed to create the market structures needed to kickstart the hydrogen economy? What role should the private sector play and what impact could it have? This online event will investigate: 

  • Factors for achieving bankability and Final Investment Decisions (FID) 

  • Subsidies, tax incentives and government initiatives  

  • Financial, strategic and operational risk mitigation mechanisms  

  • Best Practice for developing financially-viable hydrogen projects
