International
Many major global economies have assessed their positions on the role of hydrogen in their future energy systems and released dedicated hydrogen strategies, roadmaps or preliminary guidelines. Countries without specific hydrogen policy documents are including hydrogen as part of their decarbonisation policies.
A comprehensive catalogue of key global hydrogen policy documents (dedicated or highly relevant for hydrogen industry development) is provided in the table below. The catalogue focusses on official releases, including where Government is a partner in its preparation or has commissioned a hydrogen-specific study.
Summary points can be accessed by clicking on the specific jurisdiction.
