More than 70 countries have set ambitious net-zero emissions goals
Hydrogen outlook: Africa, Asia and Canada
Multiple projects, strategies and initiatives are underway throughout Africa, Asia and Canada as the transition to net-zero gains traction
Over the past several years, the world has been engaged in an energy transition. According to the UN, more than 70 countries have set ambitious net-zero emissions goals, and many have enacted new regulations and initiatives to meet those targets. These pathways include, but are not limited to, the broader adoption of electric vehicles (EVs); utilising new low-/zero-carbon fuels (e.g., blue/green hydrogen) to decarbonise power, transport and heavy industry; increasing investments in renewable energy; increasing the percentage of bio-feedstock blending in transportation fuels; incorporating the use of CCS or CCUS; and boosting the production of biofuels and alternative/renewable fuels, among o
