Abstract
The world has reached a critical juncture in terms of global emissions, with the imperative to limit global warming to 1.5°C by achieving net-zero 𝐶𝑂2 emissions by 2050. Many countries are actively working towards this goal, focusing on the integration of energy storage with renewable energy sources and increasing electrification in the energy sector. Hydrogen, through electrolysis and fuel cell technologies, holds the potential to bridge the gap between electrification and efficient energy storage. However, the high production costs of hydrogen using green electricity often render it economically uncompetitive compared to fossil fuels. To address this challenge, the study explores the concept of relocating hydrogen production to regions where renewable energy sources can provide cost-effective electricity.
Countries like Chile, Morocco, Australia, and Norway are poised for significant transformations in their energy systems as they develop hydrogen hubs for the production and export of hydrogen
