1) The document discusses a public-private roundtable on developing green hydrogen production in Mongolia for sustainable infrastructure.
2) Mongolia has opportunities to develop green hydrogen from its renewable energy potential but faces challenges around infrastructure, technology, and ensuring additionality of emissions reductions.
3) The roundtable aims to increase knowledge of green hydrogen projects in Mongolia, relevant policies, international experience, opportunities and challenges, and establish an ongoing public-private dialogue on developing a vision for a green hydrogen sector.

Infrastructure investment trends
GHG emissions and targets
• Global infrastructure investment gap: 3.55% of GDP is needed
(3.7% incl. SDGs), but current trend is only 2.99%
• Almost 2/3rd of the needs are in emerging economies
• Private investment in infrastructure projects is needed, but
declining in emerging economies (-8.8% in 2021)
• Private green investment needs to grow outside of the renewables
sector, which today represents 48% of the total
• Global GHG emissions in 2022:
36.8 Gt (IEA)
• NZE target in 70+ countries,
covering 76% of emissions
• Infrastructure responsible for 60%
to 80% of total GHG emissions
• According to the UN, Mongolia would need annual investments in
infrastructure equal to 5% of its GDP
• Investment stood at 2.1% of GDP in 2015 according to ADB, with
most financing from the public sector
• No comprehensive long term strategy at this stage. A long-term
low-emission development strategy would be beneficial by helping
the country align its decisions with its low emission targets
• Share of total GHG = 0.06% in
2014, but per capita emissions =
11.8 tCO2e, just below the OECD
average of 12.9 tCO2e
• Unconditional emission reduction
target of 22.7% by 2030 (vs BAU),
conditional target at 27.2%

resolution No. 171,

programme
• Increase renewable electricity capacity from 7.62% in 2014 to 20% by 2020 and to
30% by 2030 as a share of total electricity generation capacity
• Reduce electricity transmission losses from 13.7% in 2014 to 10.8% by 2020 and to
7.8% by 2030
• Reduce building heat loss by 20% by 2020 and by 40% by 2030, compared to 2014
levels
• Reduce internal energy use of Combined Heat and Power plants (improved plant
efficiency) from 14.4% in 2014 to 11.2% by 2020 and 9.14% by 2030
• Implement advanced technology in energy production such as super critical
pressure coal combustion technology by 2030
• Reduce emissions in the cement industry through upgrading the processing
technology from wet- to dry- processing and through the construction of a new
cement plant with dry processing up to 2030
10. Green hydrogen production in Mongolia: opportunities and
threats (preliminary assessment) – for discussion
Opportunities Challenges
• Decarbonise domestic hard-to-abate industries:
mining, including cement (?)
• Build cleaner domestic energy sector
• Diversify the economy with the production and
exportation of a new clean energy
• Leverage clean H2 production to attract investment
in clean energy and in infrastructures (water,
pipelines)
• Demand from neighboring countries, opportunities
associated with Asia supergrid?
• Correlated with the development of renewables
• Water management: the production of clean H2
requires water, which is lacking in the South Gobi
desert
• Infrastructure development for transportation
• Technology risks
• For exports:
✓ Additionality of renewables
✓ Counting of GHG emission reduction
✓ Water?
11. Conclusion: objectives of today’s Roundtable
• Increase knowledge of ongoing private sector-led projects to develop green
hydrogen production in Mongolia
• Increase knowledge of current and future (planned) policies relevant to the
development of clean energies in general and of green hydrogen in particular
• Learn about relevant international experience of developing a green
hydrogen sector
• Develop a common basis of understanding of opportunities and challenges
associated with green hydrogen production in Mongolia
• Establish a public-private dialogue platform for discussing these challenges
and opportunities, and potentially building a vision for the future
