The Professorship of Public Policy for the Green Transition (PPGT) focuses on designing and evaluating policies for the green transition worldwide.

This position

Green hydrogen is key to decarbonizing many hard-to-abate sectors, but it is not yet economically viable in most cases. This postdoc position investigates the impact of different financing schemes (e.g., public, private, blended) on the feasibility of green hydrogen by use case. Beyond the economic feasibility, a particular focus of this position will lie on the evaluation of different development pathways when deploying green hydrogen infrastructure, depending on the geographical and economic context. It will include a deep dive on the potential of Ukraine to become a green hydrogen hub, leveraging geo-spatial energy models run by project partners. As such, this position contributes directly to the strategy of rebuilding the Ukrainian energy infrastructure and it develops financing options to scale green hydrogen around the world. Project partners include the University of Oxford, Imperial College London and Ukrainian and British policymakers.
