They were developed in collaboration with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and PwC. EPRI and Gas Technology Institute (GTI) have created the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI) to address the challenges and gaps in achieving deep carbon reductions across the energy economy. LCRI is focused on the value chain of alternative energy carriers and low-carbon fuels—such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels (including renewable natural gas), and synthetic fuels—and research, development, and demonstration to enable their production, storage, delivery, and use across the energy economy. These energy carriers/fuels are needed to enable af_fordable pathways to economy- wide decarbonization by mid-century. This five-year, global collaborative will identify and accelerate fundamental development of promising technologies; demonstrate and assess the performance of key technologies and processes, identifying pathways to possible improvements; and inform key stakeholders and the public about technology options and potential pathways to a low-carbon future. PwC is a network of firms in 155 countries with over 284,000 people committed to delivering quality in assurance, advisory and tax services, including more than 20,000 professionals engaged in the energy, utilities and resources sectors. With its global strategy, The New Equation, PwC is responding to the challenges shaping the world today, with a focus on building trust and delivering sustained outcomes that create value for organisations, their stakeholders and broader society. Climate change is one of the world’s most pressing problems, and PwC has committed to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and is working with organisations to accelerate their own climate-based transformation. PwC and the World Energy Council have a common goal of promoting energy transition and sustainability by engaging with policymakers and leading industry players. Our shared view is that energy transition and sustainability are achieved through the interaction of robust policy frameworks and a strong, competitive energy industry. Learn more about PwC In a fast-paced era of disruptive changes, these insights aim to facilitate strategic sharing of knowledge between the Council’s members and the other energy stakeholders and policy shapers and contribute to a global dialogue on hydrogen’s role in energy transitions. These insights build upon earlier work by the Council, notably the release of the “Hydrogen on the Horizon” series in July and September 2021, and involved regional in-depth conversations with 180+ high-level experts from 67 countries, reflecting 82% of the global Total Primary Energy Supply – TPES (2019 data, U.S. EIA) and 89% of global GDP (2020 data, WB). The analysis and forecasts available in this publication and any associated references do not reflect the military conflict occurring in Ukraine. Although we acknowledge that the situation in Ukraine and the resulting disruptions in energy markets will greatly af_fect the future of low-carbon hydrogen, this release is based on analysis prior to the February 2022 events. 3 W O R L D E N E R G Y I N S I G H T S : W O R K I N G P A P E R bar.case R E G I O N A L I N S I G H T S I N T O L O W hyphen.case CA R B O N H Y D R O G E N S CA L E U P TABLE OF CONTENTS 04 14 13 19 34 51 53 54 39 PAGES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REGIONAL INSIGHTS ENABLERS FOR LOWhyphen.caseCARBON HYDROGEN MARKET RAMPhyphen.caseUP ANNEX 2: LIST OF LOWhyphen.caseCARBON HYDROGEN VALLEYS REFERENCES ACKNOWLEDGMENT ANNEX 1: REGIONAL DASHBOARDS INSIGHTS ON HYDROGEN SUPPLY CHAINS DEVELOPMENT INTRODUCTION Africa Africa Context Low-carbon hydrogen: a global commodity in the future? Low-carbon hydrogen price developments Latin America and the Caribbean Latin America and the Caribbean Asia-Pacific Asia-Pacific Middle East regulatory priorities to unlock low-carbon hydrogen potential, notably adapting legislation to allow for clean molecules to be part of the energy mix; economic and financial mandates and incentives, including carbon pricing, blending quotas, and low-carbon fuel credits. National support for the development of hydrogen hubs is also key to facilitate the creation of local demand and supply in concert. In particular, there is an urgent need to shift the focus onto the usefulness of energy for people, and to look at low-carbon hydrogen demand and the end-users. Firstly, focus must be shifted to look at the low-carbon hydrogen end-user price. Increase in low-carbon hydrogen demand is cost sensitive. The focus of the conversation should move from hydrogen production cost to final price for end users and include transport cost (challenging as there are many components, with some very dif_f_icult to estimate, such as transport infrastructure, local permitting, etc.), storage costs, profit margin, and provisioning costs at the final point of consumption. These costs may be much larger than the cost of hydrogen production itself and the end objective to make hydrogen competitive in the low-carbon future is not production at the lowest cost, but supply at the lowest price for the greatest benefit of societies and the environment. Secondly, additional support should be focused on the end-users. More support on the demand-side is needed, targeting end-users that will consume hydrogen in their application. This can be achieved by providing supply transparency and guarantees for the buyer. In particular, experts unanimously called for guarantees of origin and global sustainability requirements to help the hydrogen market develop. Global cooperation on the topic needs to start today if clean hydrogen development is going to help achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, it should be noted that a globally harmonised mechanism poses the risk of establishing a deliberately simplified or less ambitious framework (i.e., agreeing on ENABLING SCALE 9 Figure IV.

Current regulatory uncertainty on low-carbon hydrogen (e.g., lack of harmonised definitions of hydrogen production methods, carbon intensity rules, etc.) is delaying investment and ramp-up of industrial- scale projects. National and regional initiatives are advancing on this topic, but unilaterally, which can create barriers for global trade. Experts are therefore calling for an international, recognized institution to lead a global ef_fort to standardize these definitions. Additionally, providing more support to end-users entails encouraging the switch to low-carbon alternatives through incentives and other policy tools (e.g., carbon price, Carbon Contracts for Dif_ference (CCFDs), Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), or quotas). Finally, supporting end-users requires reducing uncertainty to de-risk investment. While current prices and safety concerns hinder hydrogen scale-up, in the short term, Memoranda of Understanding, partnerships, and long-term contracts are shaping the market and providing visibility for risks takers. As the market develops, more flexibility and competitiveness can emerge. Thirdly, low-carbon hydrogen development should consider social impacts alongside economic opportunities. More emphasis is needed on ensuring local low-carbon hydrogen demand is met first in applications where it makes economic sense compared to alternatives, particularly in countries with significant existing consumption of hydrogen or export ambitions. Developing low-carbon hydrogen usage downstream requires its own transport, infrastructure, and storage facilities, which can create new skills and jobs opportunities, particularly in countries with abundant renewable energy resources, due to hydrogen’s versatility. This can enable the respective societies to capture more value linked to low-carbon hydrogen economy developments. A key success factor for low-carbon hydrogen uptake relates to the social licence and the resulting necessity to provide more education for the public around its role in abating climate change and the role it could play in energy systems in respect to increasing equity and justice. Training and outreach will be needed to increase hydrogen literacy within the general population, and to improve the existing skillset across the industry. In that respect, the development of a global monitoring and reporting tool on low-carbon hydrogen projects would help awareness and literacy ef_forts amongst the general public, in addition to tracking progress over time and supporting decision making.
