A Checklist for Financial Instruments has been established and analysis on Financing Options for large-scale hydrogen projects are conducted and disseminated.  

GIZ continuously publishes reports, e.g. on ‘green ammonia business models’, ‘systematic analysis on green hydrogen’, or ‘PtX routes and demands’. 

 GIZ developed several tools to be used along the hydrogen value chain, including

• ​Funding through Industrial Decarbonisation Innovation Fund of the Clean Energy Innovation Facility, which is delivered through ESMAP’s Industrial Decarbonisation Window. Support has been for feasibility studies for green hydrogen production and use in industrial contexts.

The MEDGEM project is a Regional Technical Assistance project operating in the EUs Southern Neighbourhood. The objective is to create and operate a Mediterranean Green Electrons & Molecules (MED-GEM) Network in the Southern Neighborhood region by convening dialogue and collaborative activities between key energy stakeholders in order to facilitate and promote the growth of the GEM industry at regional level. 
Budget: 2.9 Mio EUR | project duration: 2023-2025  

General larger focus on projects that have a focus on local consumption, not as much for projects that only have the goal of export outcomes like ammonia.  

The AfDB tailors most technical assistance to the specific project. See following examples. 

Grants are used to support international projects (outside the EU and the EFTA countries) to build production plants for green hydrogen and hydrogen and its derivatives and for the storage, transport and integrated use of hydrogen and accompanying research projects in line with the German National Hydrogen Strategy. This is a joint action with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
