PandoraPapers focused on the use of offshore trusts & shell companies by the superrich & political classes. These legal structures are often created to maintain confidentiality, although they can also be misused for money laundering or corruption purposes.

As more than half of all services trade in Asia is digitally delivered, requiring nonresident suppliers of digital services & ecommerce marketplaces to register with local tax authorities & remit VAT on their sales can raise revenue between 0.04 - 0.11 % of GDP in some countries.

Digital services taxes-withholding on payments for crossborder services or userbased turnover taxes on digital activities-don’t raise much revenue & have other drawbacks such as distorting business decisions, complicating trade relations & still being vulnerable to tax avoidance.

Making it Cheaper to be Green
DRIVING HYDROGEN COSTS DOWN WHILE INCREASING SUPPLY
*Building more plants to increase hydrogen supply
*Increasing hydrogen plant utilization
*Decreasing electrolyzer plant capital expenditures
*Reducing renewable (solar & wind) energy costs

Making it Cheaper to be Green
The philosophy used to be “How can we make it more expensive to be dirty?”
Now the question is “How can we make it cheaper to be green?”

For energy & utility companies, hydrogen can be used for energy storage, as it is an energy carrier that can capture & store renewable energy from solar, wind & other renewables. It can be used to store energy for months instead of days, compared to conventional energy storage.

[Devrim Hasanefendioglu @DevrimHeo]

As transportation OEMs consider their green vehicle options, hydrogen-powered vehicles have some advantages over electric vehicles. Specifically, fuel cell electric vehicles, which are powered by hydrogen fuel cells, can travel longer distances with shorter refueling times.

[Devrim Hasanefendioglu @DevrimHeo]

While solar & wind could help decarbonize the grid, current methods to harness them can't generate energy densely & consistently enough for manufacturing operations. Hydrogen, however, can fuel high-temperature manufacturing operations related to steel, glass, chemical & cement.
