COP29 Hydrogen Declaration

The COP29 Hydrogen declaration seeks to find multilateral commitment and action from both the public and private sectors as well as financing institutions to address these core bottlenecks. It is a political document to raise ambition, advance consensus and accelerate momentum on scaling up renewable, clean zero-emission and low-carbon hydrogen production and deployment and accelerate decarbonization of existing hydrogen production from unabated fossil fuels to facilitate energy transitions and achieve near-zero greenhouse gas emissions from hydrogen production, targeting particularly end-use sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, taking into consideration national circumstances.
