Report: Enhancing Offtake in the European Hydrogen Market
The development of a robust hydrogen offtake market is critical for Europe’s decarbonization objectives, particularly in industries that are difficult to abate. While hydrogen production capacity continues to expand, the absence of long-term offtake agreements remains a significant barrier to financing and commercial deployment. Industrial buyers remain reluctant to commit to long-term contracts due to […]
Introduction: Green Hydrogen Quality Infrastructure
The successful implementation of a hydrogen strategy also depends on the establishment of a robust Quality Infrastructure (QI). In the hydrogen sector, a well-developed QI is essential to mitigate the risks associated with the entire GH2 value chain. By fostering confidence in the conformity of GH2 products, processes, and services, QI plays a vital role […]
Overview: Mapping Sustainability Certification Worldwide
As countries transition to cleaner energy sources, establishing sustainability criteria for the hydrogen economy is crucial to ensure that the industry operates in an environmentally re-sponsible manner, supports social well-being, and promotes economic growth. This document highlights the critical role of sustainability certification in the hydrogen sector and illustrates how certification facilitates trade by ensuring […]
Guide: International Green Hydrogen Standards
International standards play a critical role in creating a globally accepted and safe environment for hydrogen production, storage, transport, and use. They ensure consistency, reliability, and safety across the hydrogen value chain. By adhering to established standards, stakeholders can enhance the quality of their operations, mitigate risks, and promote innovation within the green hydrogen sector. […]
Study: A Roadmap to National Green Hydrogen Standards in Namibia
The international standards landscape for green hydrogen is comprehensive, and these standards play a crucial role in ensuring safety, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability in hydrogen technologies while promoting global trade and investment. This scoping study was commissioned to assess the current status, gaps, and opportunities related to technical standards and sustainability certification for green hydrogen […]
Study: Localizing Green Industries in Namibia
This report explores how Namibia can achieve green industrialisation through renewable energy and mining. It aims to foster dialogue and collaboration amongst stakeholders interested in working towards green industrialisation in Namibia by providing a detailed overview of the Green Steel and Critical Raw Material sectors as potential drivers of green industrialisation, explaining the necessary conditions for […]
SDG-Model on the Effects of a Green Hydrogen Economy
This study employs systemic modelling to project the impact of a green hydrogen economy on achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Brazil, Namibia and South Africa. Four simulated scenarios explore the role of green hydrogen in these countries’ national development by 2050, assessing interdependencies and potential impacts. Further scenarios can also be simulated using the […]
