can support the decarbonization of the industry sectors falling under the research
scope.
However, the current renewable energy policy frameworks of the APAC markets are not set-up to support a deep decarbonisation of the industry sectors falling
under the research scope. Even at the horizon 2030, the renewable electricity
generation would not suffice the hydrogen demand.
An international effort for improving, clarifying and harmonizing the present
renewable energy and hydrogen policy frameworks of the APAC markets would
enable the deep decarbonisation of the industry sectors under the research scope.
Country specific hydrogen strategies and renewable energy technical potential are
complementary. Moreover, suitable policy frameworks are required to reduce the
cost gap between the fossil fuel-based hydrogen and the renewable hydrogen.
The research work focused on the decarbonisation of the production processes of ammonia, methanol, steel and oil refining. The hydrogen demand for the
transportation, heat, and power sectors has been deliberately excluded from the
research scope. However, according to some of the APAC markets hydrogen strategies, those sectors are expected to generate a significant demand for hydrogen
in a near future. Further research could be conducted to see how this additional
hydrogen demand would impact the results obtained in this paper.
