Hydrogen is recognized to be indispensable for reaching net-zero emission targets towards 2050. However, most hydrogen is produced from fossil-fuel sources and remains a CO2 intensive process, accounting for approximately 2% of global CO2 emissions. With the strive to produce hydrogen with the lowest greenhouse gas footprint possible, countries are adhering to different production sources and specifications of hydrogen based on its CO2-intensity. How do we define hydrogen produced from a broad spectrum of energy sources? The informative webinar will provide an introduction to the types of hydrogen based on colours (e.g. green & blue hydrogen) along with its classification based on quantifying the CO2 content or carbon footprint of the hydrogen produced. The webinar will gather insights through a panel discussion presenting hydrogen initiatives from government and industry representatives. This'll be followed by interactive discussions to further address questions on the specifications for hydrogen.

HYDROGEN IN INDUSTRY:
DO COLORS OR CO2 CONTENT MATTER?

2. I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Hydrogen is recognized to be indispensable for reaching net-zero emission tar-
gets towards 2050. However, most hydrogen is produced from fossil-fuel sources
and remains a CO2 intensive process, accounting for approximately 2% of global
CO2 emissions. With the strive to produce hydrogen with the lowest greenhouse
gas footprint possible, countries are adhering to different production sources and
specifications of hydrogen based on its CO2-intensity.
How do we define hydrogen produced from a broad spectrum of energy sourc-
es? The informative webinar will provide an introduction to the types of hydrogen
based on colours (e.g. green & blue hydrogen) along with its classification based
on quantifying the CO2 content or carbon footprint of the hydrogen produced. The
webinar will gather insights through a panel discussion presenting hydrogen ini-
tiatives from government and industry representatives. This'll be followed by inter-
active discussions to further address questions on the specifications for hydrogen.
II. OBJECTIVE OF WEBINAR
The session provides an overview on the colors of hydrogen and its transition to-
wards identifying hydrogen production through measuring its CO2 content. A panel
discussion, speakers will provide insights on the respective country/region’s type of
hydrogen considered and challenges encountered. This will be followed by interac-
tive discussions and a Question-and-Answer session.
III. TARGET AUDIENCE
UNIDO Member States, including government and national hydrogen experts, in-
dustry, private sector.
IV. HOW TO CONNECT
The webinar will be organized via Avaya Spaces online platform.
