This course will enrich participants with the challenges and risks constraining investment and finance activity in renewable and green hydrogen projects. It covers the monetisation process of changing green hydrogen to generate revenues in attractive ways since green hydrogen and its applications are currently relatively expensive compared to existing alternatives it’s become increasingly important to monetise low-carbon hydrogen efficiently and effectively. Nonetheless, the Importance of innovation finance and Improving access-to-finance conditions for hydrogen promoters with be also tackled.
There will also be consideration of how the key aspects of optimisation of resources across the value chain will bridge the cost gap as the primary constraint to making hydrogen business models work. This will include the indirect impact of fluctuating natural gas prices on the price of hydrogen as a competitor in some applications. In addition to the examination of compensating mechanisms, the impact of the current cost gap (or “green premium”) of green hydrogen in limiting investors’ ability and willingness to invest will be assessed.
Access all recordings and slides through the World Hydrogen Leaders platform with a premium membership.
This course has been broken down into three online sessions each lasting approximately three hours.
