TunisiaAdvancing Green Hydrogen: Building Regional Momentum Through Standardization and Metrology
Green hydrogen has emerged as a critical enabler of energy transitions worldwide, offering a pathway toward decarbonization, energy security, and new economic opportunities. To facilitate the integration of green hydrogen into both local and international markets, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the MED-GEM Network hosted a webinar on November 28, 2024, highlighting the indispensable role of standardization and metrology. The event provided a platform for experts to discuss actionable pathways for advancing these frameworks in Southern Mediterranean Countries (SMCs).
The Southern Mediterranean stands at a crossroads. The potential is immense, but so are the challenges. The question isn’t whether green hydrogen will play a role in the region’s future—it’s whether the region can act fast enough to seize its opportunity.
As Dr. Mustapha Taoumi of MED-GEM aptly stated during the webinar: “Standardization and metrology are not just technical frameworks; they are the tools that turn vision into reality.”
The global energy transition is already underway, and the Southern Mediterranean has the chance to be a leader—not a follower. The time to act is now.
