Managing Dispute Risks In Low-Carbon Hydrogen Projects

In its pure form, hydrogen is an energy carrier with high energy content per unit of mass. Its use produces only water, causing no local pollution. Hydrogen is termed "low-carbon hydrogen" when produced with renewable electricity (green hydrogen) or from fossil fuels combined with carbon capture and storage technology (blue hydrogen).

Low-carbon hydrogen is widely regarded as a critical solution to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, steel, cement, and other heavy industries, and as a key element in the race to net zero by 2050. Recognizing this potential, several countries have developed national hydrogen strategies with ambitious mid-
