It’s shaping up to be a critical year in determining the future for low-carbon hydrogen. With net zero targets and the pressure to decarbonise taking sharper focus, there is no better time to unlock hydrogen’s potential as part of the energy transition.

With the low-carbon hydrogen economy struggling to move at pace, a boost is needed in creating the market, in order to reconcile the supply and demand challenges. As the market looks to break the pattern of announcing capacity whilst demand remains relatively small-scale, questions remain around government policy and support, funding and costs, project delivery, hydrogen’s carbon intensity and end market requirements. All these challenges and more, need to be addressed to scale up the low-carbon hydrogen sector allowing it to play a critical role in delivering as part of the energy transition.
