By John Lee. The National Investment Commission (NIC) held an extensive meeting with KBR on March 4, 2025, to explore the development of Iraq''s first blue ammonia
When derived from renewable energies or low-carbon, hydrogen is a leading alternative energy source for decarbonizing transportation. Air Liquide draws on its industrial facilities, technologies and expertise to develop
Discover the benefits and challenges of blue hydrogen, its current and future applications, and the critical role of policy and investment in its development. Explore how blue
Turquoise hydrogen is created when natural gas is broken down into hydrogen and solid carbon with the help of methane pyrolysis. Blue hydrogen is generated from the steam reduction of natural gas.
The country flares a massive volume of associated natural gas—an economic and environmental loss. By harnessing this gas, Iraq can launch a blue hydrogen plant based in Basra or Thi Qar.
Iraq intends to generate 25% of its energy from green sources by 2030, and in 2022 made $750m in low interest loans available to fund solar initiatives. An increase in
Iraq has initiated a study to assess the potential for green hydrogen production as part of its clean energy strategy. The industry ministry is undertaking the study in

Discover the benefits and challenges of blue hydrogen, its current and future applications, and the critical role of policy and investment in its development. Explore how blue hydrogen can serve as a transitional
Hydrogen can be stored in a variety of physical and chemical methods. Each storage technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is the subject of this study to
Iraq has abundant renewable energy resources, particularly solar and wind energy, that can be utilized to produce green hydrogen. However, the renewable energy potential in Iraq remains largely untapped, and the country has yet to fully explore the benefits of developing a green hydrogen industry.
Given Iraq significant natural gas reserves, the country could technically produce substantial amounts of grey hydrogen. However, due to the environmental impact and the global push towards more sustainable energy solutions, there may be more focus on cleaner hydrogen production methods, such as green and blue hydrogen production. 3.4.
In addition to its domestic benefits, the transition to a green hydrogen economy has the potential to enhance Iraq international standing. As countries around the world seek to reduce the carbon emissions, the demand for clean energy sources such as green hydrogen is expected to increase significantly.
Iraq's present infrastructure is insufficient to meet the country's total energy needs. Therefore, a hydrogen infrastructure is required to address this demand. However, there is no description of the infrastructure for the production, delivery, and storage of green hydrogen in the passage.
In 2020, the cost of grey hydrogen in Iraq was estimated at $1.4/kg, and green hydrogen, which is produced through electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources, had a higher production cost of $5.2/kg. The projections indicate a downward trend in hydrogen production costs by 2025 for green hydrogen is expected to range between 3 and 4 $/kg.
As countries around the world seek to reduce the carbon emissions, the demand for clean energy sources such as green hydrogen is expected to increase significantly. If Iraq can position itself as a player in the green hydrogen market, it could open up new opportunities for exports and international partnerships.
