Decarbonizing Industries: The Growing Role of Low-Carbon Hydrogen by 2030
Key Ideas
- By 2030, 83% of low-carbon hydrogen capacity will come from green hydrogen plants, driving decarbonization efforts in energy-intensive industries.
- Blue and green hydrogen projects are gaining momentum with 75% of them in the feasibility stage, emphasizing the shift towards a cleaner energy future.
- Oil and gas companies are investing in blue and green hydrogen production for long-term energy transition goals, highlighting the potential growth in this sector.
- Expansion of the hydrogen distribution network, including new pipelines, is crucial for the scalability and success of the global hydrogen economy.
The global hydrogen economy is witnessing a significant shift towards low-carbon hydrogen, with an expected surge in capacity by 2030. Green hydrogen is set to dominate this growth, accounting for 83% of the capacity, while blue hydrogen will also play a vital role. Industries like steel, transportation, and power are driving the demand for low-carbon hydrogen to decarbonize their operations. Despite the current critical phase of development, the momentum is strong, with 75% of hydrogen projects in the feasibility stage. Oil and gas companies are actively investing in blue and green hydrogen production, expecting operational plants by 2030. The expansion of the hydrogen distribution network, along with the addition of new pipelines, is crucial for the future success of the hydrogen economy.
