Catalysing finance for green hydrogen in emerging and developing markets - Priority actions for development finance institutions
9 November 2022, 10:00 - 11:15 (Minderoo Pavilion, Blue Zone)
Summary: A dramatic scale up of green hydrogen production is needed to decarbonise hard to abate sectors and help avert climate disaster. The potential for green hydrogen projects to benefit emerging and developing economies is unprecedented, due to their renewable energy potential and need to improve energy access to citizens and communities.
The development finance institutions (DFIs) have a critical role to play in enabling the shift to a green hydrogen economy, from providing technical assistance, to concessionary funding and risk mitigation.
