IRENA report on the geopolitics of the Energy Transformation

Cross-border trading of hydrogen will increase in the 2030s, at pace with the cost-competitiveness of green hydrogen. IRENA envisages that two-thirds of green hydrogen production in 2050 would be used locally, and one-third traded across borders. Ammonia is the most promising vector for hydrogen transport via ship. Half of 410mn t of hydrogen is expected to be moved as ammonia by 2050.

International Renewable Energy Agency

Irena is an intergovernmental agency driving the global shift to renewable energy sources. Though international cooperation, it promotes sustainable energy use to combat climate change and enhance energy security.
