  • Namibian green ammonia for European import

    Pre-FID
    Namibia → Germany / NL · $10B+ project financing

    Namibia's Tsau //Khaeb project benefits from world-class solar/wind resources, German government offtake support, and EU CBAM tailwinds. Pre-FID multiples likely to compress as Hyphen achieves financial close 2026.

    Key risks
    • Political stability
    • Cost of capital in emerging market
    • Offtake price uncertainty 2030+
    • Local infrastructure dependencies

  • UK blue hydrogen clusters with CCUS

    Construction
    UK NW + NE · £500m-£2B per project

    HyNet North West and Net Zero Teesside are first-of-kind operational clusters with secured government contracts. Long-term predictable revenue from RAB-style returns; risk-adjusted returns more like infrastructure than venture.

    Key risks
    • UK regulatory change risk
    • Public opposition to CCUS
    • Methane leakage scrutiny on natural-gas feedstock

  • Korean liquid H₂ import infrastructure

    FID Imminent
    South Korea / Japan · $1-3B per terminal

    Korea has highest absolute willingness-to-pay for imported clean H₂ (industrial + power). Limited local production options. Import-terminal infrastructure (JERA/Itochu Nagoya, Ulsan) is highly contracted, regulated-utility-style returns.

    Key risks
    • LNG-style competition for terminal sites
    • Supplier-side execution risk in Australia/Middle East

  • US IRA-eligible green H₂ producers

    Construction
    US Gulf Coast + Midwest · $200m-$2B per facility

    $3/kg PTC (45V) makes US green H₂ economics compelling. Texas Gulf Coast and Mississippi cluster (Hy Stor) have offtake from refining and ammonia. Plug Power, EH2, Hy Stor are scarce direct exposures.

    Key risks
    • IRA repeal political risk
    • 45V additionality rules tightening
    • Local renewable PPA scarcity

  • European electrolyser manufacturing scale-up

    Operational
    Norway / UK / Germany / France · Public-equity exposure

    EU Innovation Fund + Net-Zero Industry Act creating procurement floor for European-made electrolysers. Nel, ITM Power, thyssenkrupp nucera trading at trough valuations 2024-2025; expect rerating with order book recovery.

    Key risks
    • Chinese alkaline manufacturing cost advantage
    • Demand-side delays from end-use customers
    • Working capital strain
