This report “A Quality Infrastructure Roadmap for Green Hydrogen” by IRENA provides a blueprint for scaling green hydrogen globally. The report highlights how robust quality infrastructure (QI)—spanning standardization, metrology, certification, and regulation—can ensure safety, sustainability, and innovation in green hydrogen systems.The roadmap outlines five actionable steps for developing QI, from assessing hydrogen potential to creating a comprehensive development plan.
-It emphasizes three levels of QI services, starting from basic safety and quality requirements to advanced systems tailored for green hydrogen production and trade.
-International cooperation is essential—nations can share QI resources to overcome capacity and cost challenges.
-While the roadmap provides a clear framework, its application in diverse national contexts may face hurdles such as resource limitations and differing regulatory priorities. Collaboration and tailored approaches will be key to success.
-This report serves as a guide for policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers committed to decarbonization. The roadmap steps provide guidance on key considerations for developing the hydrogen sector and the required quality infrastructure in parallel.
