| Summary: | In the future, green hydrogen—hydrogen
produced with renewable energy resources—could provide
developing countries with a zero-carbon energy carrier to
support national sustainable energy objectives, and it needs
further consideration by policy makers and investors.
Developing countries with good renewable energy resources
could produce green hydrogen locally, generatingeconomic
opportunities, and increasing energy security by reducing
exposure to oil price volatility and supply disruptions.
Support from development finance institutions and
concessional funds could play an important role in deploying
first-of-a-kind green hydrogen projects, accelerating the
uptake of green hydrogen in developing countries, and
increasing capacity and creating the necessary policy and
regulatory enabling environment. |
