International Energy Agency (IEA) published its global hydrogen review of 2025, emphasizing a strong increase in demand, but warning that hydrogen projects with a low level of emissions are lagging behind expectations during 2030. Despite the early impulse, delays, cancellations and regulatory uncertainty slows down progress in the direction of climate and energy transition. 100 million tons in 2024, two percent of an annual increase mainly due to oil and industrial sectors.
However, most of the hydrogen is still made of fossil fuel without carbon capture. Fossible fuel hydrogen remains cheaper than alternatives with a low level of emissions, with the expansion of expenses due to the fall in natural gas prices and the growing costs of the electrolyzer.
IEA expects the gap in the cost of technology, the prices for technology are falling, the renewed Energy expansion and new rules will enter into force. Expanded was found for low measurements for low measurements. It warns that the production of hydrogen with a low level of emissions lags behind the goals of industry and government:
- . By 2030, production can be up to 37 million tons per year, compared with 49 million vol. 2030.
- with a stronger policy, an additional 6 million tons per year could be unlocked.
- Political and investment problems
. Deployment.
He urged politicians to support support schemes, stimulate the need for hydrogen and accelerate the development of infrastructure
dominance of Chinese and the potential of the southeast-east Asia
. Global production of an electric liner. While Chinese manufacturers currently have a significant scale, they are faced with potential problems of excess capacity, taking into account the existing production capacity of 20 Gigavatts per year, exceeds the current demand.
Particular attention on Southeast Asia emphasizes the potential growth of the region. Announced projects can increase hydrogen production with a low level of emissions from 3,000 tons today to 430,000 tons annually by 2030. Understanding this potential will require a faster renewable deployment, targeted political framework and creating examination using pilot projects.
