I hope this analysis by the IEA helps shift the obsession away from data centers and towards more important drivers of electricity growth, for example, climate change increasing the demand for space cooling (& all the others in the figure)! https://t.co/8KRdt0weS2

Building on our data, recent discussions on end use hydrogen cases, and the literature on incumbency we suggest that the build-out of hydrogen may be to little to late, going to the wrong places, with fossil fuel incumbents likely being in the drivers seat.

While we agree that there is a need for subsidies to close price gaps we also stress what we consider to be the strategy’s inherent limitations.

But we also take the argument further. As others have suggested before us public de-risking through supply side policies are being persued to make projects financiable. We discuss this trajectory.

Developers and financial actors phase technological risk, regulatory risk and cash-flow risk. Our paper explains in detail why these risks exist and the challenges they pose to the build out of green hydrogen.

Together with @JPTilsted I have a new paper out in EPA that explores why we are not seeing many investment decisions on green hydrogen projects Focusing on the Danish case the paper argues that risk and uncertainty in various domains are holding back private investments.

I just published in Economic Geography. In my paper, I examine how the Brazilian state established Embraer, one of the largest aerospace companies in the world today. I also discuss how Embraer was privatized in the 1990s, and as a result, fostered social downgrading. +
