The Hydrogen Council's latest analysis reveals that the global clean hydrogen project pipeline is experiencing substantial growth, with a focus on advancing projects towards execution to meet climate goals. The report, co-authored by McKinsey & Company, highlights a seven-fold increase in projects reaching Final Investment Decision (FID), with committed capital reaching $75 billion across 434 projects in 2024. Investments in the sector have matured, with a significant shift from project planning to implementation, aiming to drive the adoption of hydrogen and accelerate the clean energy transition. Key industry figures, including Jaehoon Chang of Hyundai Motor Company, stress the importance of additional investments and accessible hydrogen supply to facilitate widespread adoption. Despite the progress, challenges such as rising costs and regulatory uncertainties persist, leading to project delays, particularly in renewable hydrogen projects. Leaders like Ivana Jemelkova and Sanjiv Lamba emphasize the urgent need for more investment, regulatory support, and collaboration to achieve mid-century climate targets. The Hydrogen Council, a global initiative, advocates for sustainable hydrogen solutions and aims to accelerate the clean energy transition. By fostering collaboration between industry, governments, and investors, the Council works towards developing international standards and promoting the deployment of reliable hydrogen solutions at scale. The report underscores the growing momentum in the clean hydrogen sector but also highlights the critical need for concerted efforts to overcome existing challenges and drive the deployment of hydrogen ecosystems worldwide.
