Each in-depth research paper focuses on a current sustainability topic that is of interest to the Foundation’s members and partners. The 12 technical papers are distributed to members, partners, and universities, as well as made available on the Foundation’s website.2023 MayGreen hydrogen can help decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors like refinery, steel and heavy duty transport and the chemical industry. The Gulf region is well positioned to establish itself as a hydrogen hub as it has cheap and abundant renewable energy resources and is located in the vicinity of major hydrogen consumption centres like Europe and Asia. What risks does a massive uptake of green hydrogen pose to the region? What is green hydrogen and what is its current and future contribution to a sustainable global development? Which hydrogen policy frameworks are currently existing in the Gulf region?02Research Series• Green hydrogen can help decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors like refinery, steel and heavy duty transport and the chemical industry.• Today’s hydrogen demand is forecasted to grow five-fold until 2050 which opens significant economic opportunities for renewable energy rich regions like the Gulf countries.• The Gulf region is well positioned to establish itself as a hydrogen hub due to various reasons: o It has cheap and abundant renewable energy resources. o It is geographically well located in t...
