Against the backdrop of the pressing global imperatives of decarbonisation and achieving net-zero emissions, green hydrogen has emerged as a pivotal player in the quest for clean energy solutions. This webinar explored the multifaceted landscape of green hydrogen, focusing on its significance in the context of the global energy transition. The discussion then delved into the dynamics of hydrogen in Asia, analysing regional progress, collaborations among countries, and advancements to harness hydrogen's potential as a clean energy carrier. Japan, having risen as a leader in hydrogen technologies, proposes to establish a hydrogen society in Asia, fostering collaborative production, technology sharing, and adoption. The webinar also delved into the techno-economic feasibility of green hydrogen, addressing key challenges such as production costs, technology limitations, and infrastructure requirements. By elucidating these critical aspects, the webinar aimed to foster a deeper understanding of green hydrogen's role in shaping a sustainable future for the global energy landscape.
