Green hydrogen is a key solution for climate change mitigation, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 2050. It is produced using renewable energy and water and is vital for decarbonizing sectors like transport, industry, and steel production.

 

Germany and Uruguay have emerged as important players in the green hydrogen landscape, each with distinct strategies. Germany, with limited domestic production potential, focuses on importing green hydrogen and establishing international partnerships.

 

Uruguay aims to become a green hydrogen exporter, leveraging its renewable energy capacity. Its strategy focuses on developing a green hydrogen economy, with plans to produce 10 GW of green hydrogen annually by 2040.

 

In the context of green hydrogen, interregional collaboration can play a crucial role, as exchange on green hydrogen projects can foster effective partnerships, technological exchange, shared investment, and policy alignment.
