Can De-Risking Make Chile and South Africa Leaders in the Green Hydrogen

Green H2 is on track to become a vital component of global decarbonization efforts. However, the high cost and investment risks associated with its development present significant challenges—especially for countries in the Global South, like Chile and South Africa. This is where “de-risking” comes into play. But what does de-risking mean, and why is it so critical to green hydrogen’s success? Below, we explore this concept, recent developments in these nations, timelines for ongoing projects, and actionable steps to utilize green hydrogen technology effectively.
