Governance Frameworks for Green Hydrogen Corridors in Strategic Global Maritime Energy Hubs
The Suez Canal is emerging as a critical node for green hydrogen transport, necessitating new governance models to manage geopolitical and economic interests. This study examines how such corridors can be structured to facilitate sustainable international energy trade.
What governance structures best facilitate the development of green hydrogen corridors in strategic maritime hubs?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
It remains useful to test how multi-stakeholder governance models influence the success of green shipping corridors.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Effective governance is essential for scaling green hydrogen infrastructure to meet global net-zero shipping targets.
