IEA cuts growth forecasts for hydrogen-linked renewables
Deployment of solar and wind to power electrolysers seen slowing as green hydrogen projects struggle to reach FID
The IEA has cut its forecast for the deployment of renewables dedicated to powering electrolysers over the next five years by 35%, implying the growth of green hydrogen production will be slower than previously expected.

Growth forecasts for all regions except China were lowered compared with projections made a year ago.
