The main theme of the document is the international certification and trade of low-emission hydrogen, which is critical for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry and transport.
The document emphasizes that fragmented regulatory frameworks hinder the scaling of global trade and investment. It proposes the creation of a "Low-Emission Hydrogen Club" to unify certification frameworks and harmonize standards, which could accelerate market activation and enhance investment in low-emission hydrogen technologies.
