Overview of International hydrogen strategies study

Hydrogen plays an important role in a future energy system. The analysis of government action for hydrogen in the national scale shows that the main drivers are the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction goals, the integration of renewables, as well as the opportunity for economic growth and energy supply diversity. While national strategies obviously differ in detail, reflecting particular country interests and industrial strengths, there is a clear, strong, and lasting international momentum behind the universal recognition that hydrogen is an essential and indispensable element of a decarbonised energy system.
