• What are the underpinning policies and instruments supporting the development of renewable energy and hydrogen?
This secondary question is answered in the section 3.2. The policy instruments supporting the APAC renewable energy development and section 3.3.
The review of APAC hydrogen policy landscape.
• What is the hydrogen demand of industry sectors using fossil fuel-based
hydrogen as feedstock?
This secondary question is answered in the section 4.2. The review of hydrogen production processes and in the section and in the section 5.3. Case studies
for determining the potential of renewable hydrogen for decarbonising the
industrial sectors using fossil fuel-based hydrogen within the APAC markets.
• What is the potential of renewable hydrogen for decarbonising the industry
sectors using fossil fuel-based hydrogen as feedstock?
This secondary question is answered in section 6. Results.
1.4
The Delineation of the Research Scope
For this research work, the following terminology will be used. Hydrogen produced from fossil fuels is named fossil fuel-based hydrogen. The hydrogen produced
from renewable energy is named renewable hydrogen, where solar PV and wind
power are the source of the renewable energy.
The research work focuses on of five countries of the APAC markets: China,
Japan, South-Korea, Taiwan, and Australia.
The industry sectors using fossil fuel-based hydrogen considered in the scope
of this research are the ammonia and methanol manufacturers, the oil refineries,
and the steel manufacturers.
