Pillars

• production of low-carbon hydrogen
• use of low-carbon hydrogen
• transport and storage of hydrogen
• promotion of hydrogen technologies.

Phases:

Phase 1 – focuses on the use of hydrogen under the clean mobility concept;

Phase 2 – planned from 2026, involves operational industrial testing of the use of hydrogen

Phase 3 – starting next decade when it is assumed that hydrogen can be transported using well-established pipelines without subsidy. It is anticipated the construction and repurposing of hydrogen pipelines will have commenced and that hydrogen will be used in many industries.
