The money flowing in will create new jobs, technologies, and markets, tremendously impacting the entire value chain. We will spend less money on traditional carbon-based fuels, too."

The green hydrogen market will expand from about $1 billion today to $30 billion in 2030, according to MarketsandMarkets. Low renewable energy prices and advancements in electrolysis will drive the growth. However, a lack of transportation and storage infrastructure is a barrier. That’s why countries and companies are partnering to build economies of scale.
