Financing the green hydrogen revolution - How to scale up private investment

← Go back to "GH2 at COP27"

9 November 2022, 11:30 - 12:15 (Minderoo Pavilion, Blue Zone)

 

Summary: The private finance industry will be critical in financing the large-scale green hydrogen projects needed to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement, fertilisers, shipping and aviation.  

Private finance, domestic and international, should have a much greater role going forward in mobilizing capital for green hydrogen projects in emerging and developing economies, given the fiscal constraints and the greater possibilities for the private sector to participate in large scale projects. Banks and financial institutions will also be important in providing advisory services to public and private sector players as they advance green hydrogen project development.
