Green Hydrogen in Developing Countries
Energy Sector Management Assistance Program
Abstract
In the future, green hydrogen—hydrogen \n produced with renewable energy resources—could provide \n developing countries with a zero-carbon energy carrier to \n support national sustainable energy objectives, and it needs \n further consideration by policy makers and investors. \n Developing countries with good renewable energy resources \n could produce green hydrogen locally, generatingeconomic \n opportunities, and increasing energy security by reducing \n exposure to oil price volatility and supply disruptions. \n Support from development finance institutions and \n concessional funds could play an important role in deploying \n first-of-a-kind green hydrogen projects, accelerating the \n uptake of green hydrogen in developing countries, and \n increasing capacity and creating the necessary policy and \n regulatory enabling environment.
