Description :

Hydrogen is critical for deep decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, maritime and aviation. As an energy carrier, it is versatile in application and stores energy over long periods, thus enabling a higher degree of electrification and presenting a stronger case for renewables as we decarbonise our energy systems.

According to the Hydrogen Council, hydrogen is central to reaching net-zero emissions as it can abate 80 gigatons of CO2 by 2050. But despite the strong momentum today, a USD 540 billion capital gap remains until 2030.

What is the potential of hydrogen in Asia-Pacific? What are the regional trade flows projected to be like, and how are market and policy developments shaping up? Are there blocking points for growth, and what would it take for us to realise a hydrogen economy?
