Abstract

Within the needed global energy transition, hydrogen presents a potential avenue for achieving deep decarbonization. The expanding role of hydrogen in the global energy landscape is underscored by governmental interest. Recently, new national strategies have been adopted, taking the total number of countries with hydrogen strategies to 41 countries in 2022. To assess the decarbonization potential of a hydrogen economy, one may use an integrated assessment approach, a comprehensive framework that incorporates insights across diverse sectors like energy, land use, and the broader economy, along with their associated greenhouse gas emissions. Integrated assessment models (IAM) are mathematical tools to conduct an integrated assessment. This presentation proposes a survey of 12 distinct family of IAM from 50 different studies, to assess the potential of a hydrogen economy for different scenarios developed within the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report WGIII. This presentation also reports on our ongoing efforts at GERAD to model hydrogen production pathways in our AD-MERGE integrated assessment model.
