Empirical Research for Establishing
the Potential of Renewable Hydrogen
for Decarbonising the Industrial Sectors
Using Fossil Fuel-Based Hydrogen
Within the APAC Markets
5.1
Evaluation of the Literature Review Findings
Regarding the Role of Hydrogen in the Energy
Transition
This chapter provides the findings from the practical and scientific literature
review. The findings are addressing the renewable energy offer, the hydrogen demand, and the policy instruments elements of the renewable hydrogen
framework [Figure 5.1].
5.1.1 The Renewable Energy Offer
The Renewable Energy Landscape in the APAC Markets
The documentation review shows that the countries under the research scope have
established renewable energy policies and targets. The main drivers for the development of their renewable energy capacity are the decarbonisation of the energy
sector and the reduction of the GHG emissions. However, the mitigation of energy
dependency on fossil fuels is another driver particularly relevant for Japan and
South-Korea.
The level of ambition varies among the APAC markets.
At a federal level, Australia targets are defined until 2021 and remains at the
same level until 2030. An update of the targets is expected but without a defined
deadline. Most of the Australian States have established their own targets. In some
