🌍🔋 News from the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance | KfW IPEX-Bank expert leads task force that created Learnbook on Hydrogen Infrastructure 🔋🌍 We are glad to share the release of the ‘Learnbook on Financing of Hydrogen Infrastructure’, a pivotal resource aimed at unlocking the potential of clean hydrogen infrastructure investments across Europe. The lead author of the Learnbook is Andreas Löffler, Director at KfW IPEX-Bank and specialized in financing energy infrastructure. This comprehensive guide not only highlights current public financing sources but also delves into innovative options to de-risk infrastructure investments and, hence, overcome existing challenges in the evolving #hydrogen market. With the European Union's ambitious #climate and #energy goals in sight, the Learnbook serves as a roadmap for stakeholders to navigate the complexities of financing #HydrogenInfrastructure. Key highlights include: 💡 Strategies to minimize investment risks in a nascent market. 💡 Recommendations for #EU and member state policymakers as well as National Regulatory Authorities to enhance the financial viability of hydrogen infrastructure projects. 💡 Suggestions for incentivizing investors and expanding public support for development costs. "To unlock the potential of clean hydrogen, we must address several key success factors that are still in development: finalizing regulations, establishing supply and demand, and creating robust value chains” says Andreas Löffler, who led the task force that created the Learnbook. “The nascent stage of this market necessitates mechanisms for risk-sharing among stakeholders, ensuring that no party bears more risk than they can handle. Ultimately, it is about de-risking projects and by implementing risk mitigants like amortization accounts, clawback mechanisms, and credit insurance, we can make hydrogen infrastructure projects more attractive and bankable for both equity and debt investors." At KfW IPEX-Bank, we are committed to supporting the #transition to a sustainable energy future. We believe that by fostering transparent information and collaboration, we can drive the investments needed to realize the full potential of #CleanHydrogen.
