Green Hydrogen Support Program

The world is not on track to limit the increase in average global temperature to 1.5 °C, and deeper actions on decarbonization across all economic sectors are required, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors.  Green hydrogen—produced with renewable electricity through electrolysis— can help address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from hard-to-abate sectors, such as cement and steel production, shipping, and heavy road transport, and provide a low-cost, flexible option for energy 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 the short- and long-term green hydrogen opportunities.
