PE Live: Long-term policies needed to grow hydrogen economy
CfDs, carbon price hub model and infrastructure investment all vital if market is to grow, says panel

Launching commercial-scale hydrogen projects is different from other energy infrastructure projects because the market is not yet developed, according to Tim Calver, executive director, energy and infrastructure advisory at EY. “Those assets are selling into existing mature markets,” he says. “In the case of an emerging market like hydrogen there is a strong case to make anticipatory investments and therefore provide risk mitigation to upstream and downstream investors.” Offshore wind
