Abstract
The production of renewable-based hydrogen and its derivatives holds immense economic potential, particularly in areas with high renewable potential, water resources, land availability and low finance costs. These physical properties, however, may not always recommend production at scale in close proximity to anticipated demand centers. In such cases, international trade can play a pivotal role in matching supply and demand areas, potentially leading to the creation of new value chains that span the globe. This report discusses important factors that may contribute to the development of sustainable renewable hydrogen value chains, including environmental, infrastructure, socio-economic and governance aspects associated with renewable hydrogen production in developing countries, and its transportation to meet future demand. Renewable hydrogen production and trade present a wide range of opportunities and risks across these areas, all of which must be carefully considered. This balanced approach is key to ensuring the long-term sustainability and success of renewable hydrogen production and trade.
