Result of Service
This consultancy aims to support the implementation of the GCF Readiness project “Advancing a Regional Approach to the Green Hydrogen Economy in Latin America and the Caribbean” in supporting the national strategies preparation, coordinating the hydrogen economy goals of all participating countries and strengthening the regional dialogue in more concrete and practical aspects and the development of policy briefs.
Three (3) countries will deliver a national green hydrogen strategy (developed by local consultants), and the other four (4) countries will develop specific green hydrogen project prefeasibility analysis (developed by a consulting company).
This consultancy will give data and information to both groups on regional synergies for further utilization of the green hydrogen economy and two (2) policy briefs to support the green hydrogen economy regulation.
Output 1. National green hydrogen regulation is enhanced by delivering two (2) policy briefs (outcome 2.2.A). The consultant will liaise with all countries of the project to assess two common topics within the safety and sustainable infrastructure development related to green hydrogen that is still to be regulated and write two policy briefs based on a benchmark analysis. Both policy briefs will include in their conception and solution provided the gender and indigenous people approach.
1.1. Regulatory gap analysis. This report will contain the information gathered on desk research, interviews with key stakeholders of each country, and regulatory gaps individually for each country and the common topics.
1.2. Benchmark analysis. This analysis will contain the regulatory and norm comparison of at least three cases of the topics defined in the previous study. It will include an introduction to the topic, case selection methodology, data collection process, case studies, critical comparison and conclusion, including essential particularities for the decisions made.
1.3. The policy brief on green hydrogen economy safety. Based on the two analyses before, this document will have no more than ten (10) pages (excluding annexes). It will include an executive summary, problem description, research overview, current and proposed policies, policy recommendations and appendices and sources.
1.4. The policy brief on green hydrogen sustainable infrastructure. Based on the two analyses before, this document will have no more than ten (10) pages (excluding annexes), including an executive summary, description of the problem, overview of research, current and proposed policies, policy recommendations and recommendations and appendices and sources.
Output 2. The national and regional green hydrogen economy planning is enhanced by delivering one (1) green hydrogen economy strategy coordination report.

The assessment will look into the different stages of the green hydrogen value chain:
• Production
• Transformation (production of e-fuels and green ammonia)
• Transportation (pipeline, trucks and regional and international hydrogen transportation route and bunkering possibilities.
• End-use (industry decarbonization possibilities, including steel and chemical industries and refineries; transportation decarbonization possibilities, including shipping, aviation, and heavy-duty vehicles; heating; and power generation).
2.1 Regional countries’ hydrogen goals comparison study. This report will contain a comparative assessment of the countries’ goals for the green hydrogen economy based on the public sector objectives and national green hydrogen associations. The study will analyze the market and economic opportunities of each national strategy within the global trends of green hydrogen.
