Green Hydrogen Support Program

The world is offtrack to limit the increase in average global temperature to 1.5 °C. Accelerated decarbonization across all economic sectors is needed, particularly in hard-to-abate industries and transportation sectors such as aviation and shipping. Green hydrogen, also known as renewable hydrogen—produced with renewable electricity through electrolysis— can help address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from hard-to-abate sectors, such as ammonia and steel production, shipping, and heavy-duty road transport. Hydrogen can also be used for electricity storage.

ESMAP’s Green Hydrogen Support Program aims to raise awareness about the potential for green hydrogen to create economic opportunities in developing countries and decarbonize energy-consuming activities. The Green Hydrogen Support Program assists governments in developing countries to identify short- and long-term green hydrogen opportunities.
