SYNOPSIS   

This virtual half-day course examines the market, sustainability, and policy dimensions required to scale green hydrogen into a credible and investable energy solution. It is designed for policymakers, regulators, utilities, financiers, and industry leaders shaping national or sectoral hydrogen strategies.

The short course focuses on how hydrogen markets are strategically created, starting with the identification of early-adopter and no-regret demand sectors, and the role of anchor offtake, market sequencing, and bankability. Participants will learn how to determine where hydrogen deployment should begin based on economic, infrastructure, and policy readiness. It also addresses the sustainability criteria that underpin credible green hydrogen, including lifecycle emissions accounting, renewable electricity additionality, certification, and traceability. Emphasis is placed on why robust definitions are essential for investor confidence, trade acceptance, and ESG alignment.

Finally, the course explores policy and regulatory frameworks that enable hydrogen scale-up, covering targets, incentives, procurement mechanisms, price-support tools, and regulatory enablers across the hydrogen value chain. Participants will gain practical insight into designing phased, coherent policies that mobilize private capital while managing systemic and fiscal risks.
