The Green Hydrogen Gap

If we are to meet the Paris Agreement targets, we must ensure policy supports the demand for green hydrogen and direct air capture in the shipping and aviation industries.

A report by the SASHA Coalition, with supporting research by Arup

Facilitated by Opportunity Green, this report by the SASHA Coalition finds that all pathways to truly sustainable fuels for the shipping and aviation sectors require green hydrogen (produced from renewables), with some of them requiring carbon dioxide from sustainable sources like direct air capture (DAC).

It reveals that there is a lack of policy supporting the production of green hydrogen, which is slowing down demand and discouraging investment, creating a “Green Hydrogen Gap”.

The report also outlines how governments should prioritise the use of hydrogen and DAC in the aviation and shipping sectors because they lack decent alternatives, and highlights the need for policy to ensure that these solutions can be rolled out at scale.
