Implemented activities on the development of hydrogen
Framework agreement between the Ministry of Energy and Australian company Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) on cooperation in research and development of renewable energy
According to the balanced scenario, by 2050, Azerbaijan aims to produce 0.5mn tonnes of hydrogen per year, with a substantial portion allocated for export. Under the accelerated scenario, if investments in offshore wind and renewable energy scale up rapidly, production could reach 1.1mn tonnes by 2050.
According to the recently published European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and Ministry of Energy of Azerbaijan National Hydrogen Strategic Outlook, the country currently accounts for less than 0.5% of global hydrogen production and consumption.
The presentation of Azerbaijan National Hydrogen Strategic Outlook document took place at the event named Enabling the Clean Hydrogen Economy & Developing New Supply Chains organized by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Hydrogen Council within the COP29 conference.
Azerbaijan is actively seeking foreign investment to develop its hydrogen economy. Partnerships with international energy companies such as Masdar, ACWA Power, and Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) are already in place. The government is also working with development banks, including the EBRD, to secure concessional financing for hydrogen projects.
