What is hydrogen, and why does it matter?

Hydrogen is the smallest and most abundant element in the universe — and one of the most consequential fuels of the energy transition. When produced from low-emissions sources and used to replace fossil fuels in hard-to-abate sectors, it becomes a strategic lever for industrial decarbonization, energy security, and net-zero economies.

01 / WHAT

An energy carrier, not a source

Hydrogen (H₂) stores and moves energy. It can be burned, fed into fuel cells, or used as feedstock for ammonia, methanol, steel, and synthetic fuels — replacing coal, gas, and oil in industries that electrification alone cannot decarbonize.

02 / HOW

Made low-emission, used clean

Green hydrogen comes from water electrolysis powered by renewables. Blue hydrogen comes from natural gas with CO₂ capture. Both pathways are scaling rapidly — with electrolysis attracting 80% of new capital in 2025.

03 / WHY

The hard-to-abate sectors

Steel. Ammonia. Methanol. Refining. Heavy mobility. Long-duration storage. These sectors account for 30% of global emissions and have no straightforward electric solution — hydrogen is their decarbonization path.

The hydrogen economy is moving from ambition to delivery.

After years of announcements, the sector entered a new phase in 2025: real capital, real construction, real production. Below are the numbers shaping the global hydrogen build-out — sourced from the IEA Global Hydrogen Review 2025 and the Hydrogen Council Global Hydrogen Compass 2025.

$110B
Committed Investment (Sept 2025)
Across more than 500 projects worldwide that have passed Final Investment Decision, are in construction, or already operational — a $35B increase year-over-year.
1,700+
Projects Announced Since 2020
A 7.5× increase since the start of the decade. The pipeline is maturing — strongest business cases advance, weaker ones are deprioritized.
6Mtpa
Total Committed Capacity
Of which roughly 1 Mtpa is already in operation. The pipeline could support 9–14 Mtpa of clean hydrogen capacity by 2030 if demand keeps pace.
$8B
Projected 2025 Capital Spending
An 80% jump from 2024. Electrolysis captures ~80% of spend in 2025; CCUS-equipped hydrogen leads in North America.
