De-risking instruments and international co-ordination for clean hydrogen in EMDEs

This event welcomed over 160 participants from government, industry and the financing sector who actively engaged in in-depth discussions and provided invaluable inputs on suitable risk mitigation strategies for green hydrogen projects. The discussion also fed the current analysis conducted by the World Bank and the OECD on de-risking mechanisms for clean hydrogen development in EMDEs.
The objectives of the stakeholder workshop were:
-To introduce the ongoing study on “Leveraging enhanced de-risking instruments and international co-ordination to catalyse investment in clean hydrogen”
-To identify available risk mitigation instruments that can be used to address priority risks for clean hydrogen projects in EMDEs, as well as the lessons learned and best practices for their implementation
-To discuss the importance of co-ordination and collaboration among international financial institutions and governments to unlock the required finance for clean hydrogen development.
