The ASEAN region stands at a critical juncture in its energy transition, facing rapidly growing energy demand and the pressing need to mitigate climate-change impacts. Hydrogen and ammonia present significant opportunities for AMS to decarbonise their economies, enhance energy security, and support the integration of renewable energy. This roadmap provides a structured approach for ASEAN to integrate hydrogen and ammonia into its energy system across three key phases: the short term (2025–2030), medium term (2031–2040), and long term (2041–2050).

Post-COVID optimism for energy transition has been buffeted by supply chain shortages, inflation, high interest rates, and the Russia-Ukraine war. Renewables investors unsettled by the sharp reversal of energy transition strategy in the USA, and the delays in policy implementation in Europe and the UK. UK oil companies have reverted to oil & gas activities. Yet Big Oil is investing in blue and green hydrogen, adjacent to its refinery and CCS footprint, for internal consumption. A ‘chicken-egg’ has developed where hydrogen off-takers are slow to sign the long-term offtake agreements that are needed for bankable finance, until country level regulations and GHG penalties are in place

Plug Power has expanded its partnership with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) with a 2 GW electrolyser deal tied to a sustainable fuels project in Uzbekistan. The deal will be executed during the Tashkent International Investment Forum. Plug Power’s electrolyser technology has been selected as the foundation of a $5.5 billion green chemical production facility in Uzbekistan. The facility will produce sustainable aviation fuel, green urea, and green diesel.

Offshore hydrogen production from offshore wind energy is gaining global attention as an appealing solution for scaling up green hydrogen production. The techno economic feasibility of integrating offshore wind into hydrogen production has been explored in various regions, but no comprehensive study exists concerning Saudi Arabia’s offshore wind potential. This work by KAPSARC aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of producing hydrogen onshore versus offshore from wind power in the Red Sea. Via the use of a deterministic cost model, this study evaluates the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) for both configurations. The results show that offshore wind farm costs and floating foundations are the major drivers of capital expenditure (CAPEX).

Northwest Europe is at the forefront of low-emissions hydrogen1 development. This region accounts for around 40% of Europe’s total hydrogen demand, and it has vast and untapped renewable energy and carbon storage potential in the North Sea. It also has a well developed, interconnected gas network that could be partially repurposed to facilitate the transmission and distribution of low emissions hydrogen from production sites to demand centres. The development of the low-emissions hydrogen market in Northwest Europe could gradually scale up in the short- to medium-term. Northwest European countries now have ambition to develop up to 30 to 35 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030.
