The appetite to invest into Green Hydrogen projects is high, though some key ingredients are still a bit exotic and slow down the investment process, requiring a lot of overhead for handling. A comparison can be drawn to the early days of large PV projects. The session answers to: What instruments will the insurance industry elaborate? What are the conditions for bank financing, what the perspective of private investors? What are the procedures to ensure Hydrogen respects its colour?
