Hydrogen Transition Outlook and Trends Q1 2025
Summary
Q4 2024 saw 915ktpa of new announced capacity across 21 projects. However, the capacity outlook is still demonstrating a slightly negative trend due to project stalls and cancellations, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities of the current low-carbon hydrogen market
In Q4 2024, new project announcements totalled approximately 900ktpa of added capacity across 21 projects. This represented an increase from the previous quarter, where 690ktpa of capacity was announced across 12 projects. However, announcements from Q4 2024 still underwent a deceleration from the rate of announcements seen in the first half of 2024. Q2 2024 remains the best performing quarter in terms of capacity additions, with 2.2mtpa of capacity being announced across 14 projects
Key Highlights
- To date, the total active and pipeline capacity of low-carbon hydrogen reaches approximately 175mtpa, of which approximately 90% and 10% is from green and blue plants, respectively.
- Cumulative hydrogen production capacity continues to be dominated by early-stage projects, with just under 1.9mtpa of capacity having reached completion by the end of Q4 2024.
- In Q4 2024, new project announcements totalled approximately 900ktpa of added capacity across 21 projects. This represented an increase from the previous quarter, where 690ktpa of capacity was announced across 12 projects.
