Quality Infrastructure Roadmap | Green Hydrogen

Quality infrastructure roadmap | Green hydrogen

Quality infrastructure provides instruments and services to reduce safety, financial and reputational risks in the sector, while supporting the achievement of the intended positive sustainability impacts of investments.

This report includes an overview of the main considerations and good practices for the key elements that underpin the quality infrastructure ecosystem, namely standardisation, metrology, conformity assessment (testing, certification, inspection, verification and validation) and accreditation as well as technical regulations that are relevant for the hydrogen sector.

A key output of this project is a general roadmap on how countries can develop their quality infrastructure to effectively support the green hydrogen sector – with particular focus on the hydrogen production and distribution segments of the value chain.

The five steps that have been included in this roadmap approach are:

1. Assessing the green hydrogen potential

2. Development of a national hydrogen strategy

3. Assessment of the national quality infrastructure ecosystem

4. Assessment of quality infrastructure service offering and demand

5. Quality infrastructure development action plan
