H4D provides technical assistance and practical guidance to develop clean hydrogen projects in EMDCs, tailored to their capacities and requirements.
The main functions of the H4D Partnership consist of:
- Convening international cooperation to increase the knowledge base in clean hydrogen technologies for developing countries.
- Building capacities in the public sector by following a global public goods approach.
- Understanding of emerging markets’ requirements for the deployment of clean hydrogen and its derivatives.
- Creating platforms to boost policy dialogue with countries participating in the clean hydrogen industry and boost North-South and South-South exchanges.
- Accessing to country- and project-specific information.
The H4D Partnership also serves as a mechanism to enable the development of investment projects by supporting the creation of clean hydrogen funds and the mobilization of concessional financing to bridge the cost gap between green hydrogen and other fossil fuels.
H4D LAUNCH EVENT
The World Bank launched the Hydrogen for Development Partnership (H4D) at the Conference of the Parties (COP27) to foster capacity-building, regulatory solutions, business models, and financing toward the rollout of clean hydrogen in developing countries and emerging markets.
