Many of the climate technologies needed to deliver decarbonisation targets already exist, but the path to scalability faces bottlenecks on multiple fronts including critical minerals supply, manufacturing capacity, skills and infrastructure. In addition to incentivising policy measures, like those included in the European Green Deal and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, energy companies have opportunities to accelerate scalability and the commercial viability across renewables, nuclear, and storage to meet energy transition targets.

In this Action Session, we will examine the scalability of technologies needed to drive the energy transition. We will hear from industry experts on what the best innovative solutions are and what investment and capital is needed to scale them.

High initial costs, scaling complexities, and fluctuating policy support make the financial landscape for green hydrogen projects challenging. For project developers, managing these factors involves not only innovative approaches to reduce production costs but also active engagement with governments to secure consistent and supportive policy frameworks. Additionally, securing early and reliable off-takers through strategic partnerships is crucial to justify the heavy upfront investments, ensuring that projects can transition from ambitious blueprints to operational realities. This pragmatic approach is essential for harnessing hydrogen's potential as a cornerstone of a low-carbon future.
