As the world sinks deeper into the climate emergency, financing the energy transition is vital. It’s also a prime opportunity for the export, project, and development finance communities to work together to bring projects to market. This session considers:

  • Examining project pipelines, structuring trends and new market entrants
  • What sources of financing can developers look to for capital? 
  • What role will natural gas play in the regional energy transition roadmap
  • Beyond wind and solar, which technologies will play an important role in the energy transition? Should ECAs be taking on more risk for emerging technologies such as hydrogen, CCUS, SAF/e-fuels, biogas, fuel cells, enhanced geothermal systems? Are any of these technologies approaching bankability faster than others?
