Project description

Low carbon hydrogen (LCH) refers to hydrogen gas produced using methods that minimize greenhouse gas emissions throughout its entire lifecycle. LCH is typically generated through processes that utilize renewable energy sources (such as electrolysis powered by solar or wind energy) or by capturing and storing the carbon emissions generated during hydrogen production from fossil fuels. 

Carbon Limits partnered with Deloitte Finance, France to conduct this project focused on low carbon hydrogen (LCH) in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. Deloitte performed modeling to assess the technical and economic potential of LCH, and Carbon Limits evaluated the results for developing a roadmap for LCH development in the region. The final report documented the LCH production pathways through literature review, understand the role of hydrogen (H2) in the global clean energy transition, analyze existing H2 roadmaps and investments worldwide, assess the transition from low carbon to zero carbon H2, and ultimately create a roadmap to achieve the modeled results in the MENA region.
