Geopolitics of the energy transformation : the hydrogen factor. — Abu Dabi : International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), 2022

118 p.

Sumario: The accelerating deployment of renewables has set in motion a global energy transformation with farreaching geopolitical implications. The report "A New World", released in 2019 by IRENA's Global Commission on the Geopolitics of the Energy Transformation, was the first foray into this area. It highlighted how the advent of a new energy age would reshape relations between states and communities and bring about a "new world" of power, security, energy independence and prosperity. Given the fast pace of change, it is critical to monitor the geopolitical drivers and implications of the transition, stay abreast of developments and play an active role in shaping the future. In 2020, the IRENA Assembly requested the Agency to advance this work under the Collaborative Framework* on the Geopolitics of the Energy Transformation. Hydrogen was identified as a prominent area for further analysis, given the recent surge of interest. Several times in the past, hydrogen attracted much attention but remained a niche in the global energy discourse. Today, the policy focus is unprecendented, given its central role for decarbonisation of harder-to-abate sectors
