6. Key points from the Ministerial Roundtable on Green Hydrogen
6
• Scale up and cost reduction of electrolysers is the priority
• Need for policy support to help create the early applications
• Importance of continued work on standards and establishment
of international trade of CO2-free hydrogen that can be certified
and verified in its production route
• Link between green hydrogen production, renewable power supply and flexibility of power systems at all
timescales, from frequency control to providing seasonal storage for wind and solar
• Trade opportunities between countries with abundant, low-cost renewable resources and countries that will
need more green hydrogen than what can be domestically produced at competitive cost

7. Hydrogen: A key part of future Energy Systems
7
Hydrogen’s role
• Solution for end-uses that are hard to directly
electrify. Emission reduction (GRO 2050):
• Green Hydrogen: 3%; Blue Hydrogen: 3% (PES)*
• Green Hydrogen: 7%, Blue Hydrogen: 1% (TES)**
• Increase the flexibility of power systems at all
timescales
Key Points in 2050 (TES)
• Hydrogen production costs: 0.9-2.0 USD/kg H2
• Electrolyser capacity: 1700 GW
• Electricity to produce green hydrogen: 7.5 PWh
• Solar and Wind capacity: at least 4 TW * Reduction in Planned Energy Scenario (33 Gt in 2050) in relation to Baseline (43 Gt in 2050)
** Additional reduction in Transforming Energy Scenario (9.5 Gt in 2050)
in relation to Planned Energy Scenario (33 Gt in 2050)
