Hydrogen Economy: Production, Distribution, and Industrial Applications
Green hydrogen production remained at pilot scale with only 420 tons of green hydrogen produced globally in 2024 compared to 120M tons of total hydrogen. Electrolysis cost at $8-12/kg limited economic viability versus gray hydrogen at $1.50/kg. Major industrial and transportation initiatives accelerated investment in hydrogen infrastructure with $18B in capex spending for production and distribution networks.
