What’s driving the green hydrogen economy?

2 Authors - Forward thinking
18/08/2023 · 2 Min

The drivers now are not just coming from government policy, but from companies – who are using green hydrogen to further their net zero goals – as well as consumers who want to buy from companies who have goals to be net zero.

Ulrik Fugmann and Edward Lees, co-heads of our Environmental Strategies Group, talk to Andy Marsh, President and CEO of Plug Power, about how his company has harnessed this momentum to build out a whole hydrogen ecosystem. In countering the arguments of naysayers who continue to suggest it’s not cost-effective enough, Andy draws parallels from his prior experience in wireless communication, reflecting that many of the fundamentals are the same.

Also listen to the podcast, ‘The uncapped impact series with Plug Power’.

The uncapped impact series brings you up close and personal with our Environmental Strategies Group and businesses that, regardless of their size, are making a big impact.

Investing in emerging markets, or specialised or restricted sectors is likely to be subject to a higher-than-average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions). Some emerging markets offer less security than the majority of international developed markets. For this reason, services for portfolio transactions, liquidation and conservation on behalf of funds invested in emerging markets may carry greater risk.
