Session Overview
Thursday, 6 November
11:30
Decarbonisation Conference Room A 11:30 - 12:30
Transforming investment frameworks for low-carbon growth

Increasingly ambitious emissions targets are accelerating a shift toward investment structures that support the growth of low-carbon solutions at scale. From clean hydrogen and battery storage to sustainable fuels and infrastructure, innovation is emerging not just in products, but also in how value is created and risk is shared. New investment models are blending public policy with market mechanisms to convert decarbonisation targets into commercially viable projects. Blended finance, policy-linked procurement and demand aggregation, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors, are allowing governments to send clearer offtake signals while enabling private coalitions that pool risk and improve viability. Regional differences are also emerging, with U.S. banks showing greater flexibility in financing decarbonisation across oil and gas markets, while EU banks operate under more restrictive ESG-linked credit ratings. At the same time, evolving scalable finance models are unlocking low-carbon opportunities across both mature and emerging markets. Delivering growth at speed and scale will require bold shifts in how investment is structured, prioritising carbon-efficient outcomes and aligning financial incentives with net-zero ambitions to put progress into overdrive.  

Attendee insights:

Hear how industry leaders are moving from conventional investment models to adaptive, forward-thinking strategies that align with the evolving realities of low-carbon growth.

Decarbonising heavy industry – is hydrogen a practical solution?

Heavy industries and shipping are significant contributors to global carbon emissions and face challenges to delivering lower carbon processes due to high thermal demands and stringent carbon reduction targets. Hydrogen could be a promising solution for decarbonising these heavy-emitting sectors due to its high energy content and versatility, allowing it to be used as both a heat source and a chemical reagent in various industrial processes. But, for hydrogen and its derivatives to enable a decarbonised future for heavy industry, substantial advances in hydrogen production, infrastructure development, regulatory support, and technological integration need to happen simultaneously. Scaling up the production of hydrogen, enhancing transport and storage infrastructure, implementing supportive policies that incentivise investment, and developing technologies that effectively integrate hydrogen into existing industrial systems are critical steps towards realising this potential.

Attendee insights:

Gain a better understanding of the opportunities low-carbon hydrogen can open for decarbonising heavy industry, the innovative technologies poised to facilitate progress and the challenges to overcome in integrating hydrogen into industrial processes.
