International co-operation to accelerate green hydrogen deployment

   Updated 1 hour 46 minutes ago

This report from IRENA's Collaborative Framework on Green Hydrogen assesses progress in green hydrogen deployment. The report gauges the success achieved to date in translating green hydrogen strategies and plans into actions – particularly in the context of green hydrogen supply and demand structures. Green hydrogen and its derivatives are key to achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century, contributing 12% of emissions abatements and would 14% of final energy consumption by 2050 in IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario. That alone requires a build-up of electrolyser capacity from negligible numbers today to 5 722 GW by 2050. Accelerated deployment of green hydrogen and its derivates is therefore required, alongside efforts to foster strong off-take signals. →
