ERA report calls for public risk-sharing to unlock European clean hydrogen investment

• European Resilience Alliance published its Clean Hydrogen Value Chain Bankability Playbook, proposing measures to unlock investment in Europe's clean hydrogen market.
• Demand, infrastructure and technology risks undermine project bankability; regulatory uncertainty compounds these barriers to final investment decisions.
• Priority measures include double-sided auctions, contracts for difference for hydrogen midstreamers and intertemporal cost allocation for hydrogen transport infrastructure.
• Targeted, time-limited public support would bridge funding gaps during market development rather than permanently replace private-sector responsibility.
