One of the two Dii Studies released at our Annual Dii Desert Energy Leadership Summit offers a strategic analysis of how Common User Infrastructure (CUI) is essential for accelerating hydrogen developments.
Grounded in real-world case studies from key emerging hydrogen markets, the study confronts the primary barrier to progress: bankability. While ambitious giga-scale hydrogen projects hold the promise of energy security and emission reduction, many remain on paper, struggling to secure financing against immense upfront capital requirements and overwhelming complexity across technical, commercial, and legal domains.
Join us for our presentation where the authors, Chiara Aruffo, Dii Desert Energy, Alex Sarac, Addleshaw Goddard and Fred Wendt, ILF Consulting Engineers will present the key findings of the report including:
✅ The evolution of Common User Infrastructure
✅ What is Common User Infrastructure and why is it essential for green hydrogen?
✅ CUI in practice: technical exam les
✅ Overcoming complexity through a structured framework
✅ Evidence from the ground: case studies
✅ The path forward: collaboration for a bankable future
To make this actionable, we present a novel framework that deconstructs the overwhelming complexity of these projects by categorizing risks into three manageable types: Traditional, Complex, and Novel.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask the authors questions in a Q&A session after the presentation.
About the Study ‘Unlocking the Hydrogen Economy: How Common User Infrastructure drives Project Bankability’ with Addleshaw Goddard and ILF Consulting Engineers
The paper offers a strategic analysis of how Common User Infrastructure (CUI) is essential for accelerating hydrogen developments. We examine how a CUI model can overcome investment hurdles, mitigate risk and serve as a key tool for creating a structured, competitive hydrogen market.
