Context
Eight years after the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement, it has not yet been possible to reverse trends and reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees if possible, a comprehensive and immediate GHG reduction is required around the globe.
Objective
Partner countries can use green hydrogen and its downstream products to decarbonise and diversify their economies.
Approach
The project operates in three fields of activity:
- The hydrogen diplomacy offices make it possible to discuss the opportunities and challenges of green hydrogen in decarbonisation and diversification in the partner countries.
- It will continue the Future Forum Green Hydrogen event series with up to two (virtual) events per year, primarily to integrate geopolitical and foreign policy issues into the international debate on green hydrogen. The project uses other formats for joint events with international organisations (such as IRENA) and the European Union (EU) or EU member states.
- It produces analyses and information documents on geopolitical and foreign energy policy issues relating to the global energy transition and ramping up the international market for green hydrogen.
