Low carbon hydrogen is key to achieving the goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. However, the techno economic potential to produce low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen is not evenly distributed globally. This report provides an analysis covering economic, governance and environmental aspects, as well as potential socio-economic benefits and possible risks for developing countries. It also focuses on value chains that, on the one hand, involve developing countries as hydrogen suppliers, and on the other, future demand hubs, such as the G7.
