IRENA, WEF launch green hydrogen roadmaps and toolbox
In the UK, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the World Economic Forum recently launched a jointly developed series of “Enabling Measures Roadmaps for Green Hydrogen” at the UN Climate Conference COP26 in Glasgow. The new toolbox aims to empower policymakers to prioritize policies for green hydrogen and accelerate its deployment at the international level in pursuit of a net zero energy system aligned with a climate-safe 1.5°C scenario.
The global momentum for green hydrogen is growing as a cornerstone of the shift away from fossil fuels. The rapid uptake of green hydrogen is essential for sectors like aviation, international shipping and heavy industry, where energy intensity is high, and emissions are hardest to abate. The roadmaps show the enabling measures that need to be implemented to boost the green hydrogen economy globally. They will enhance public-private dialogue to turn industry recommendations into concrete policy measures and accelerate action on the path to net zero.
