Low-emissions hydrogen projects are set to grow strongly despite wave of cancellations and persistent challenges

IEA.org | 12 September 2025

Amid steady rise in world hydrogen demand, global pipeline for low-emissions projects has shrunk, but robust expansion to 2030 still expected

Despite a recent wave of project delays and cancellations, low-emissions hydrogen production is still set to see robust growth to 2030 as the nascent sector continues to develop – though at a slower pace than the burst of announcements earlier this decade had previously signalled – according to the latest IEA analysis.

The 2025 edition of the IEA’s annual Global Hydrogen Review, published today, tracks developments across the hydrogen sector worldwide, with particular attention to the fast-moving developments in the emerging technologies around low-emissions hydrogen.

Worldwide hydrogen demand increased to almost 100 million tonnes in 2024, up 2% from 2023 and in line with overall energy demand growth, according to the report. The vast majority of this was met by hydrogen produced from fossil fuels without measures in place to capture associated emissions. Sectors that have traditionally used hydrogen, such as oil refining and industry, remained the biggest consumers. ..more

The naysayers. Luddites and anti-greens have lost and will continue to lose the battle to stop a H2 green future. Bank on it.
