BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 16. Environmentally
friendly hydrogen and its derivatives are the key to achieving zero
emissions by mid-century, the International Renewable Energy Agency
(IRENA) said, Trend reports.
IRENA representatives participated in the Green Hydrogen Summit
in Abu Dhabi (UAE) on April 16.
“To generate the required amount of green hydrogen globally,
electrolyzers with a total capacity of 5,722 GW must be operational
by 2050. The clean hydrogen produced globally will lead to a 12
percent decrease in emissions and account for 14 percent of total
energy use. This corresponds to IRENA’s projection by 2050,” the
statement of IRENA said in the conference.
In fact, green hydrogen is often regarded as the cleanest fuel
available today because it emits no greenhouse pollutants.
IRENA is an intergovernmental body dedicated to promoting the
widespread and expanded adoption and sustainable use of all forms
of renewable energy. It was officially established on January 26,
2009, in Bonn, Germany. Its founding conference is still regarded
as a watershed moment in global renewable energy deployment.
