Global Scans · Hydrogen · Weekly Summary

• [New] A national hydrogen backbone infrastructure is planned, with the first phase set for 2030 and full deployment by 2050, reinforcing hydrogen's role in industrial decarbonization and cross-sector energy flexibility. World Energy Council
• [New] Governments around the world will have to drive initiatives to drive down the cost of hydrogen to make it commercially viable for airlines, and develop more sustainable ways of manufacturing hydrogen. BGR
• [New] The U.S. Department of Energy 's Hydrogen Earthshot program targets green hydrogen production cost of US$ 1/kg by 2031, catalyzing US$ 9.5 billion in public investment under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Persistence Market Research
• [New] Green hydrogen, electrification, carbon capture, recycling, and energy efficiency improvements will all play important roles in reducing emissions while meeting global demand for steel. Leadvent Group
• The UK could store enough green hydrogen in depleted North Sea oil and gas fields to meet future electricity demand for up to seven years. Electricity Info
• Renewable-energy-based hydrogen deployment is not expected to scale up until roughly 2035, and hydrogen-related energy infrastructure is expected to have multi-decade lifespans. PubMed Central (PMC)
• The German government is focusing on green hydrogen and aims to build around 10 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030. PubMed Central (PMC)
• By 2030, total public-private investment in 'green hydrogen' is expected to balloon to $45 Billion. / Chile The New Climate.
• Planned U.S. electrolyzer projects totaled 4,524 MW of capacity, with expected annual output of approximately 0.72 million metric tonnes of hydrogen. evolvancemarketresearch.com
• The construction of a USD 10 Billion green hydrogen project in Mexico will commence in 2026, with operations expected to begin in 2028. IMARC Group
• The European Commission's REPowerEU Plan targets 10 million tons of domestic green hydrogen production and 10 million tons of imports annually by 2030, requiring electrolyzer manufacturing capacity at a scale never previously achieved. Persistence Market Research
• If commercial-scale production proves successful, Engineered Mineral Hydrogen has the potential to play a crucial role in the global energy mix in the next decade. Cision PR Newswire
