The document outlines Colombia's hydrogen roadmap and resources. Colombia has abundant renewable energy resources like solar and wind that can enable low-cost hydrogen production. It aims to develop a hydrogen economy through pilot projects in industries, transportation, power generation and more. Regulations and incentives will be established to promote green and blue hydrogen while developing local industries and jobs. The goal is for hydrogen to supply 1.85kt of demand by 2030, decarbonizing difficult sectors.
