This IDC Perspective explores the evolving role of hydrogen in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, chemicals, and heavy transport while addressing challenges such as high production costs, infrastructure limitations, and policy misalignment. The second part of this study highlights the importance of leveraging data-driven solutions (e.g., digital twins and predictive analytics) to optimize production efficiency and reduce operational costs. By adopting these technologies, companies can scale hydrogen and accelerate their decarbonization efforts."Digitalization is a necessity for the hydrogen sector. AI-driven solutions are critical to address hydrogen-related challenges and accelerate adoption where electrification is not viable." — Research Director Angela Salmeron, IDC Energy Insights
