Clean hydrogen is a nascent technology that could play an essential role to achieve net-zero emissions. However, less than 10% of announced clean hydrogen projects worldwide have reached final investment decision, as equity and debt investors often consider these projects to be too risky. This report provides a better understanding of the risk mitigation strategies to unlock and mobilise private capital for clean hydrogen in emerging markets. It highlights how de-risking instruments can address key barriers faced by investors in clean hydrogen projects and suggests ways to allocate risks among actors.
