Abstract:
To achieve the climate goals set forth by the Paris Agreement, sectors such as aviation, shipping, and industry face significant challenges in achieving greenhouse gas neutrality. Green hydrogen-based fuels, notably synthetic jet fuel and methanol, produced through electrolysis with renewable electricity, emerge as promising solutions. However, ensuring sustainability beyond mere emission reductions requires a comprehensive assessment of their impacts. This paper explores the socio-economic dimensions of green hydrogen-based fuels, addressing the key areas work, life, and society in their production and project development. By integrating international standards, practices and best practices into a sustainability assessment, we aim to provide insights into the broader implications and potential risks and opportunities associated with scaling up these technologies, ensuring sustainable development for current and future societies.
