Buses, steel or blending in gas-fired power plants: Green hydrogen can be used in many areas – but which applications and which funding instruments can be used to efficiently drive the market ramp-up in the short term? That depends on various criteria – for example, whether the application could also be electrified as an alternative, the CO2 avoidance costs, or how far the application is from being economically viable.
In this study, the EWI shows which applications are suitable for the market ramp-up of green hydrogen, to what extent government funding might be necessary, how this can drive a market ramp-up with the least possible distortion effects, and which criteria and instruments play a role in the funding.
