• Framework for industry’s net-zero transition
released in September 2022
• 5-step approach to:
 Improve enabling market conditions
 Propose financing solutions
• Framework implementation:
 Country-level,
 Focus Area: sector, or cross-cutting technology.
 Business cases and list of projects aligned with a net-
zero emission pathway
• Green hydrogen can help decarbonising end-use
sectors
• Currently industry main consumer of hydrogen, but
with a large potential to transform conventional
processes across several hard-to-abate industry sectors

Addressing the value chain of green hydrogen is crucial
in developing national strategies

 Many governments envisage partnerships to establish
cross-border hydrogen trade.
European Commission’s REPowerEU released in May 2022
 Target of 10 Mt renewable hydrogen imports by 2030
(2% of the region’s total final energy consumption &
10% of the current hydrogen consumption worldwide)
 Several emerging and developing economies to become
exporters to supply countries that cannot meet their
transition goals with domestic production.
 25% of hydrogen supply could be traded internationally
in 2050.

Example of case study
HIF Global – e-fuels – Chile
Demonstration plant (FID 2021)
• 3.4 MW onshore wind
• 1.2 MW electrolyser
• 143 tonnes of green hydrogen annually
• Direct Air Capture of CO2
• 130 000 litres of e-gasoline annually
HIF Cabo Negro (construction from 2023)
• 325 MW onshore wind turbine
• 240 MW electrolyser
• 66 million litres of e-gasoline annually
Business rationale
• Green electricity below USD 2 cents/kWh
• Synthetic fuels can be sold at a premium
Financing
• The demonstration project HIF Haru Oni has
raised over USD 60 million in total
• USD 260 million capital increase in April 2022

 Understand the considerations and challenges around certification for
international hydrogen trade, including its impact on end-uses.
 Provide inputs on priority areas to hydrogen stakeholders for
harmonising certification mechanisms and in turn facilitate international
hydrogen trade.
 Discuss the roles individual governments, private sector and international
organisations can play in developing hydrogen certification.
