To do so, Colombia published the National Hydrogen Roadmap, in which green H2 was prioritized. This study estimates Colombia's potential to produce green H2 and a timeline of scenarios displaying the required installed capacity, capital investment, and environmental analysis related to water utilization and CO2 capture. Accordingly, Colombia can produce H2 at a rate of 9 Mt/a by 2050 by installing 121 GW renewables while processing 303 Mt/a of residual biomass. In this scenario, Colombia's share of the H2 international market can reach 1.2%, with a cumulative investment of over 244 billion USD by 2050. This study provides insights into potential global resources for low-carbon H2 generation. © 2023 The Author(s)}, publisher = {International Journal of Hydrogen Energy}, title = {Green hydrogen potential in tropical countries: the colombian case}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijhydene.2023.03.320}, author = {Rodríguez-Fontalvo D and Quiroga E and Cantillo N.M and Sánchez N and Figueredo M and Cobo M.}, }
