Scaling Green Hydrogen Starts With One Factor Above All: Bankability
Green hydrogen is central to decarbonizing heavy industry, transport, and energy systems. Yet the financing gap remains one of the biggest barriers to scaling. Bankability is the decisive factor that turns promising concepts into investable projects.
Key takeaways:
- Insights on the financing gap and the decisive role of bankability
- Learnings from the PV industry on risk management and standardization
- The role of internal and external stakeholders in building trust and transparency
- How the proposed bankability-ready seal sets a benchmark for hydrogen finance
Bankability transforms promising projects into investable assets by creating transparency, reducing risks, and building trust. Without it, the energy transition will remain a vision; with it, we can accelerate towards reality.
