Abstract: This joint report by IRENA and WTO explores the critical role of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives?ammonia, methanol, and e-kerosene?in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors. It assesses infrastructure development, certification standards, carbon pricing, and community engagement as enablers of global trade. The report includes policy recommendations, market analysis, and trade mapping, with Kenya featured for its hydrogen roadmap and export potential for sustainable ammonia.
