        Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap

        …one of the key levers to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Targets include the phase-out of fossil-based hydrogen, 3.3 Mtpa of renewable hydrogen, and 3 hubs by 2050. The roadmap aims at positioning Malaysia as a leading Hydrogen Economy Country by 2050. This initiative is based on five main factors:
        -Increasing revenue and productivity in exports, mobility, power generation, industrial heating and non-energy;
        -Promoting green growth aspirations in transportation sector;
        -Cementing Malaysia’s position as the key hydrogen player in Asia Pacific;
        -Creating job opportunities from the hydrogen economy; and

        Renewable Energy Directive - National transposition for industry

        …and instead Germany will aim to achieve the binding targets through a combination of subsidy measures targeting the demand side. These could include CCfD, the H2Global and direct subsidies for steel producers (all of which were already in place by the time of this announcement). There is a range of estimates of 0.6-0.9 Mtpa of RFNBO supply needed to satisfy the industry target (see references). Germany said it will recognise the refinery route. It has not signalled plans for a separate multiplier or "correction factor" to lower the value compared with direct use of RFNBOs in mobility
