Policy Talk 2: Policies for Green Hydrogen

The second IRENA Policy Talk focused on green hydrogen and the policies needed to transition this energy carrier from niche to mainstream. Following the presentation of the findings of the “Green hydrogen: A guide to policy making” report, a panel discussion was held with experts to discuss the latest trends and actions needed to scale up green hydrogen across its value chain. Interventions from policy makers were also made to share experiences and best practices in the implementation of policies that are planned to kick-start the growing green hydrogen sector.
