The International Chamber of Shipping, in collaboration with Professor Dr Stefan Ulreich, examine the role of hydrogen in global decarbonisation efforts, and particularly the role of maritime shipping as an enabler of a hydrogen economy. The report identifies the key sectors that drive hydrogen demand, sets out barriers and opportunities for growth, explores geographical demand hotspots, and outlines a timeline for sectoral adoption. It concludes that more infrastructure is required to support the emerging hydrogen economy.
