b. Ensure member states, EU and exporters-
both inside and outside the EU-use the
same methodology and scope for carbon
intensity. This is important and will require
cooperation and engagement with international
standardization bodies and organizations, as
well as exporting and importing countries.
c. Define carbon intensity standards for
H2
derivatives (ammonia) and liquid H2
.
d. Introduce environmental externalities
(e.g., water, land) in the certification process.
This is likely to ensure that green H2
does not use water that would otherwise
be needed by local populations. It is also
important that the use of land for large-scale
H2
production
Regulatory contributors. A significant contributor facilitating
the adoption of clean H2
the development of H2
is the progress in defining
standards. The method to correctly calculate the carbon
footprint of H2
production has been a critical priority for
markets. It ensures that H2
production
is truly low carbon.
In October 2021, the International Partnership for
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy (IPHE) released
a working paper with a method to determine the GHG
emissions associated with different H2
production pathways.
In addition, several countries (e.g., Australia, France,
the UK) are also developing certification schemes for H2
's
carbon footprint.
Guarantee of Origin (GoO) is a critical prerequisite
production does not negatively impact local
people or infringe on their rights.
9. Scale electrolyzer developments and remove
barriers to growth
a. Set electrolyzer manufacturing capacity targets.
b. Set targets for electrolyzer components to
support supply chains (e.g., membranes,
electrodes).
c. Drive automation of electrolyzer production and
increase raw material efficiency (e.g., recycling).
Automating electrolyzer manufacturing
operations will rapidly reduce equipment
costs. Several companies have already started
incorporating automation
into their production scheme.
d. Identify critical skills and develop strategies to
ensure availability of qualified workforce.
10. Focus on innovation and research and
development (R&D) to enable technology
scale-up
a. Focus R&D to improve technology performance
of electrolyzers, including durability, cost,
performance and efficiency
b. Scale and share pilot projects to build
experience with commercial-size facilities
c. Identify possible long-term supply chain
bottlenecks by value-chain component.

to maintain integrity in trading and appropriately monetizing
green H2
by certifying the renewable nature of
power consumed. Digital technology and Artificial Intelligence
of Things (AIoT)-monitored installations can be
employed to provide near real-time data and automate
input to GoO issuers. This will avoid manual processing
and increase future proofing more reliably, as more certifications
gravitate towards automation. AIoT can also
be used to offer end-to-end traceability along the entire
green H2
lifecycle.
Analysis. Policy and regulatory support for clean H2
solidified by the following key approaches:
* Ambitious goals set forth by governments,
companies and coalitions to accelerate progress.
For example, Green Hydrogen Catapult is a United
Nations initiative to reduce the cost of green H2
;
this asserts the near doubling of its goal for green
electrolyzers from 25 GW to 45 GW by 2027.
The UAE also has ambitious goals. The country's
new H2
low-carbon H2
strategy aims to hold 25% of the global
market by 2030.
