WORKSHOP
“Economics, Policy, and Market Development”
We bring together leading academic scientists and researchers!
November 26th, 2026 1pm - 5pm
Scope of the event
The commercial deployment of green hydrogen requires a deep understanding of techno-economic drivers, policy frameworks, and investment mechanisms. This sub-workshop addresses the financial, regulatory, and market conditions necessary to scale hydrogen production, distribution, and utilisation while achieving cost competitiveness with fossil-based alternatives.
Topics include cost modelling, learning curves, investment risk management, market design, and policy instruments such as subsidies, carbon pricing, and Guarantees of Origin. Academic presentations will provide rigorous economic analysis, cost forecasting, and market scenario modelling. Industry speakers will share experiences in project financing, risk mitigation, and establishing bankable business models for hydrogen projects.
The workshop aims to equip participants with practical tools to evaluate the economic feasibility of hydrogen projects, identify policy gaps, and design market mechanisms that support large-scale adoption.
Extended Key Takeaways & Outputs
- Cost benchmarks for different hydrogen technologies and sectors
- Learning curve analysis and projected cost reduction pathways
- Effective policy instruments to incentivise production, distribution, and utilisation
- Bankability criteria and investment readiness for hydrogen projects
- Recommendations for aligning market, regulatory, and financing frameworks
