The Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs), which despite being a negligible consumer of fossil fuels and contributor to global emissions are exposed to ever-increasing climate risks that threaten their ecologies and economies. Furthermore, they face energy security challenges due to their heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels which supply the bulk of the region’s energy needs. Hydrogen and its derivatives can serve as a medium for leveraging regional renewable energy resources to enable wider penetration of clean energy across the power, industry, and mobility sectors to achieve energy security, NDCs, and a net zero future.
