Hydrogen has been used to fuel cars, airships, and spaceships since the beginning of the 19th century. The decarbonisation of the world economy will give hydrogen more prominence. In addition, if its production costs fall by 50 % by 2030, as predicted by the World Hydrogen Council, we will undoubtedly be looking at one of the fuels of the future. It is expected that Hydrogen can awaken the biggest economic opportunity of our lifetime, create countless skilled jobs, and help answer the call to provide cleaner air for all. It can fuel the flow of clean energy throughout our world. Global clean hydrogen momentum continues; the number of announced projects grew by about 35% to over 1,400 from about 1,050 in January - and more than doubled compared to May 2022. Announced projects represent over USD 570 billion investments through 2030.Scope of WorkThe scope of work of the Short-Term Technical Advisor (STTA) may encompass one or all of the following, as per project requirement:
- Offer insights and analysis to identify emerging trends and opportunities in the green hydrogen sector that can support the design of a short course or study tour for South Asian officials.
- Develop a brief concept note for a short course/ study tour on the topic detailing topics to be covered that will enable service providers to develop a full curriculum development or agenda for the tour.
