Chart: Which countries are leading the green hydrogen race?

[Caribbeans]

Right now, the world produces almost no green hydrogen. But around the globe, that’s set to change — here’s where it’s happening first.

Whether you believe green hydrogen to be fundamental to the clean energy transition or dismiss it as an overhyped technology, one thing is for certain — more of it is coming.

But where will most of this green hydrogen be produced? Besides China’s enormous lead, the answer is a bit all over the map. According to the International Energy Agency’s hydrogen projects database, these are the top 15 countries with the most green hydrogen capacity that’s operational or under construction or has secured committed financing.



China is currently the world’s largest consumer and producer of hydrogen. Most of the hydrogen it makes today is fossil-fuel-based, but the country has big plans to scale up its green hydrogen production and use the fuel to decarbonize sectors like steel and chemicals production.

Saudi Arabia is next on the list, thanks to the fact that it’s currently building the world’s largest green hydrogen project. A joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products and Neom, the huge facility will include ​“up to 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce up to 600 tonnes” of green hydrogen per day. That would mean the facility will be capable of producing over 200 kilotonnes of green hydrogen per year if it operates every day. For context, the largest existing green-hydrogen facility, in China’s Xinjiang region, has a capacity of just over 44 kilotonnes per year...more

1. Chinese provinces aim to install more than 1,200 hydrogen refuelling stations by end of next year

Chinese provinces aim to install more than 1,200 hydrogen refuelling stations by end of next year

If the targets are achieved, the total would exceed the current number of H2 filling stations installed around the world to date.



Guangdong and Hebei have been designated “pilot cities” for hydrogen industry development by the national government. Meanwhile, the other three clusters — Beijing, Shanghai, and the province of Henan — follow close behind in their targets (respectively 74, 70 and 80 refuelling stations by the end of 2025) although Henan’s capital Zhengzhou has set a separate goal of 110 sites...more

Doesn't look like Europe will even come close (more like a rounding error)
