Exploring Hydrogen Markets – Kenya & Uzbekistan

This episode explores the developing legal frameworks in two emerging hydrogen markets, unveiling some of the issues and opportunities investors should watch out for. Ashurst’s Yann Alix is joined by Amyn Mussa from Anjarwalla & Khanna (ALN Kenya) and Madina Hamidova from Centil Law Firm.  Together, they discuss the hydrogen markets in Kenya and Uzbekistan. With many regulations still new and untested, it’s vital for foreign investors to stay informed on local legal developments. Amyn describes the emerging landscape in Kenya, including the nation’s Green Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to leverage renewable energy for agricultural, manufacturing, and industrial purposes. He also highlights the main drivers and barriers to investment in Kenya, emphasising the well-established IPP model in the power sector and the importance of credit enhancement structures and robust government support. Madina describes the growing market in Uzbekistan, and highlights some of the issues investors need to be mindful of. These include guarantees and incentives for foreign investors, government reforms, and moves towards privatisation.
