The critical need for policy and regulation in defining and accelerating the hydrogen market

Whilst government targets for low-emission hydrogen production are ambitious, targets to stimulate corresponding demand are not commensurate. Governments must consider stimulus schemes for low-carbon hydrogen production and demand, regulatory frameworks to guide its use, and efficient licensing and permitting processes to accelerate development of a strong market. Such coordinated policy actions are crucial to creating a balanced market, facilitating project development and delivery, and ultimately facilitating a scalable and sustainable hydrogen economy. How can effective policy incentivise hydrogen demand in alignment with ambitious production targets to create an effective framework for the low-carbon hydrogen market?
