H2-diplo - Decarbonization Diplomacy

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, greenhouse gas emissions must be significantly reduced. This inevitable requires a shift away from fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas or coal. Green hydrogen produced from renewable energies plays a key role to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, such as the chemical or metal industry. The project advises partner countries on the use of green hydrogen to decarbonise and diversify their economies. Advisory services and dialogue formats carried out by H2-diplo offices in Angola, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Colombia, Nigeria, Saudi-Arabia and the Ukraine, support the development of climate-neutral value chains. In addition, H2-diplo addresses geopolitical questions of the international market ramp-up of green hydrogen, such as shifting power relations on the way to a climate-neutral global economy.
