        Hydrogen Economy Roadmap 2040

        In January 2019, Korea announced its Hydrogen Economy Roadmap. The Roadmap outlines goal of producing 6.2 million fuel cell electric vehicles and rolling out at least 1200 refilling stations by 2040. Additionally, the plan aims to roll out on the street at least 35 hydrogen buses in 2019 ramping this number up to 2000 by 2022 and 41000 by 2040. In terms of the energy sector, the roadmap outlines an objective to supply 15 GW of fuel cell for power generation

        Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2009

        Section 3(1) states that the main purpose of the Act is “to help reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment.” The Act fulfills this purpose by enabling and regulating the granting of rights to explore for and use underground geological structures to store CO2 and carry out related activities, in order to facilitate geological storage of greenhouse gas. Secondary purposes of the Act are listed in section 3(4).

        Carbon credit revenues to fund hydrogen projects

        India is exploring the sale of Internationally Transferrable Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement to help bridge the cost gap between renewable hydrogen and hydrogen from unabated gas. By February 2025, no bilateral agreements had been signed, and details on funding or capacity remained unclear. Hydrogen and ammonia are among 14 eligible activities. Final guidance issued in April 2025 specifies that credits can only be generated by new electrolysis plants powered by new renewable energy assets. Grid electricity use is capped at 10% annually, and projects may not consume more than 5% of locally available…
