This report, supported by the National Metrology Institute of Germany (PTB) and Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), presents a Roadmap for developing a quality infrastructure system for green hydrogen.

Based on lessons learned from renewable power auctions, this report represents a guide for policymakers concerned with the design of auctions for green hydrogen deployment.

Green hydrogen can help to cut emissions in energy-intensive, hard-to decarbonise sectors like steel, chemicals, long-haul transport, shipping and aviation. But electrolyser costs must be cut to make it economical.

Renewable-based “green” hydrogen will be crucial to achieve net-zero emissions. This report offers guidelines on how to kickstart it at national and regional levels.

This white paper, developed by the IRENA Coalition for Action, provides insights from a renewable energy industry perspective on the growth opportunities of green hydrogen and what is needed from policy makers to accelerate its adoption worldwide.

This report estimates the potential for green hydrogen production as a function of land availability, considering exclusion zones such as protected areas, forests, wetlands, urban centres, slope and water scarcity.

This brief, developed by the IRENA Coalition for Action, provides an overview of technical considerations for green hydrogen tracking systems and the challenges that need to be addressed for the creation of such instruments.

This report highlights the range of policy options available to support green hydrogen in the industrial sector and complements these policies with country examples.

This joint report by IRENA and the World Trade Organization (WTO) provides insights on current and future green hydrogen trade dynamics, and outlines key policy elements that can advance the development of green hydrogen markets.

This report by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), IRENA and the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) explores the benefits of green hydrogen production in developing countries.

This report from IRENA's Collaborative Framework on Green Hydrogen assesses progress in green hydrogen deployment, including the development of green hydrogen supply and demand structures.

This report explores how North Africa can harness green hydrogen for industrial growth, highlighting key enablers and barriers to its development.

This analysis explores the tecno-economic potential for the trading of green hydrogen and its associated commodities such as ammonia, e-methanol and direct reduced iron.

This report aims to provide a basis for understanding these challenges and the solutions available. It highlights the range of policy options available, complemented by country examples.

This report provides a step-by-step guide to assist policy makers in drafting and updating national hydrogen strategies, based on lessons learned from national experiences from around the world.

As expectations rise for the establishment of a global hydrogen market, this report extends IRENA’s analysis of vital tools including regulation and certification, to focus on hydrogen derivatives.

This EPO-IRENA joint report uses patent statistics to reveal the trends and dynamism in the exciting field of green hydrogen that can be produced using renewable electricity via electrolysis.

This paper examines the potential of hydrogen fuel for hard-to-decarbonise energy uses, including aviation, shipping and other. But the decarbonisation impact depends on how hydrogen is produced.

The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the geopolitical drivers and potential consequences of the development of clean hydrogen value chains.

The report covers transformation from gaseous hydrogen to a suitable form to allow its transport and storage, its use in the process of transportation itself and its reconversion from the carrier back to pure hydrogen.

This IRENA-WTO joint report highlights the critical role of coherent strategies in promoting renewable hydrogen and derived commodities as essential means to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors.

Renewables have emerged as a major recipient of green bond proceeds. This brief highlights the need for more green bonds to drive sustainable, climate safe, energy finance.

As the world strives to cut carbon emissions, electric power from renewables has emerged as a vital energy source.  Fuel needs for transport and industry, meanwhile, could be met with renewable-based hydrogen.

This report explores key actions and milestones in relation to market creation, infrastructure and regulation, certification, technology, cost gaps and financing.

Providing an in-depth analysis of water withdrawal and consumption intensities across various hydrogen production pathways, this report offers tailored recommendations to guide policy makers and industry towards more water-efficient practices.
