If we're going to reach ambitious Net 0 goals, it's going to take more than wind and solar. This panel considers the role of hydrogen and other emerging technologies in meeting energy demands, and how we can work together to finance new projects

  • How long will it be until hydrogen is a commercially viable asset? What will need to change to get us there? 
  • How can we create more opportunities for energy storage? 
  • How can biofuels and other emerging asset classes support Asia's energy transition? 
  • How can we increase investor confidence in emerging technologies? Do ECAs and DFIs need to become more flexible when it comes to financing these assets?
