Renewable hydrogen strategy

Paraguay prioritises renewable hydrogen and defines targets for 2030 including 1 GW of electrolysis, 900 ktpa of fertilizer production and 80-100% substitution of current gas-based hydrogen. The strategy adopts a gradual approach with fertilizers as immediate hydrogen application with other uses dependent on market and technology development. Current fertilizer imports are 1.2-1.4 Mtpa out of which more than half could be replaced by 450 ktpa of renewable ammonia. The strategy defines 55 actions across 20 areas in six pillars including a regulation for additionality and temporal correlation of renewable electricity, the creation of demand hubs, the possible use of fiscal incentives and the development of a certification scheme.
