This report scrutinises the assumptions behind current blue hydrogen pricing, calling for greater transparency and robust definitions. Despite headlines claiming that “blue is cheaper than green” , no blue hydrogen project currently meets the emissions thresholds set by the European Union, Japan, Korea, United Kingdom and United States. To qualify, facilities would need to achieve over 95% carbon capture, near-zero […]

This analysis aims to explore the tecno-economic potential for the trading of green hydrogen and its associated commodities such as ammonia, e-methanol and direct reduced iron (DRI) in 2050, using a cost-optimisation approach. It builds on IRENA’s 2022 work on hydrogen trade, integrating updated assumptions which reflect the evolving market dynamics, and policy developments. The analysis extends beyond the trading […]

Green hydrogen is no longer a distant vision – it is a key pillar of the global energy future. For Africa, it represents a dual opportunity: to support climate goals by producing sustainable fuels at a global level, and to drive inclusive development. It is a landmark opportunity for economic transformation in Africa. With the right investments, partnerships, and policy […]

A comprehensive analysis of the role of hydrogen in decarbonizing the global steel industry while addressing the challenges of excess capacity. Hydrogen adoption in steelmaking holds significant potential for decarbonization, yet excess capacity hinders the deployment of hydrogen-based solutions and achievement of climate goals. While hydrogen-based DRI facilities could reduce emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional BF-BOF methods, […]

This briefing sets out a vision and recommendations for the EU Maritime Strategy (EUMS) and Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP), arguing that homegrown renewable hydrogen-based fuels offer the only viable long-term pathway to fully decarbonise the sector while reinforcing Europe’s energy sovereignty and industrial leadership. This approach aligns with the EU Competitiveness Compass, in line with Mario Draghi’s three transformational […]

In Europe, since the formulation of the European Hydrogen Strategy, a number of policies and projects have been initiated to establish a multilateral hydrogen value chain. This unprecedented large-scale initiative faces many issues that we (Japan) can learn from. Meanwhile, North America and China are also making great strides with increased investment in the hydrogen value chain supported by the […]

Regulating hydrogen infrastructures needs to be informed by the economic(and technical) properties of these assets. Pipelines and cavern capacity are unavoidably “oversized” relative to early hydrogen demand, leaving investors with the risk of under-utilised assets. The role of national energy system operator is significant because of its independence and whole system approach. Strategic planning and future proofing of these assets […]

Despite its potential, many challenges impede the deployment of a hydrogen economy in North Africa. A primary obstacle is the difficulty faced in financing local hydrogen projects, due in part to investor perceptions of risk in Africa, a lack of knowledge about these emerging (hydrogen) markets, currency risks, and general uncertainties about off-taker markets. Moreover, a larger skilled workforce is […]
