2025: A banner year for hydrogen projects
The global hydrogen production reached 97 million metric tons per annum in 2023, with less than 1% from low-carbon sources. The IEA projects low-emission hydrogen production to reach 38 Mtpa by 2030. US blue hydrogen production is projected to reach 1.5 Mtpa in 2025, while green hydrogen production is expected to increase due to price competition and government initiatives, especially in emerging economies. Companies like Avina Clean Hydrogen are building green hydrogen facilities, and ECL is developing hydrogen-powered data centers.
