About this episode
The pace of clean industry investment is picking up. In the last six months, 19 commercial-scale projects reached final investment decision, worth USD $43 billion, more than double the pace of a year earlier. The fifth edition of the Mission Possible Partnership’s Global Project Tracker says 2026 is on track to be the strongest year yet.
Faustine Delasalle, CEO of MPP, joins Joy McConnochie and Shaun Chau to work through what the tracker shows. The conversation moves from the global picture to the Australian one: why China holds 45% of projects past FID and why that lead is hard to copy, why demand is the barrier that comes first, how mechanisms like H2Global bridge the green premium, and what Australia’s 70-project pipeline needs to get moving.
Cyan and MPP are building a Clean Deal Tracker for Australia together and share insights from this work.
