About the tool

What it does

Built on ISA’s readiness assessment framework (Blueprint for ecosystem readiness assessment for green hydrogen), the tool gives policymakers a holistic picture of the exact gap areas in their country’s readiness for green hydrogen projects.

Each parameter is evaluated separately and combined into an overall score out of 5. The result shows the country’s readiness level, the score for each parameter and what makes it up, and can be downloaded as a one-page PDF report.
