Clean hydrogen growth ‘not yet meeting expectations’: IEA
Up to 37 million tonnes of annual clean hydrogen could enter the market by 2030 – down nearly 25% from previous forecasts.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has lowered its growth predictions for low-emissions hydrogen as high costs and market uncertainty hamper project development.
With several projects cancelled in the past year, the IEA’s 2025 analysis forecasts that up to 37 million tonnes of annual clean hydrogen could enter the market by 2030 – down nearly 25% from its previous forecast of 49 million tonnes.
