FIDs for low-carbon hydrogen projects remain elusive
Mid-decade project pipeline blooms
Most projects in key markets are targeting startup for 2025, GEI data shows
While FIDs for low-carbon hydrogen projects remain elusive, a majority of projects in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific are expected to be commissioned by mid-decade, according to project data from Global Energy Infrastructure (GEI). Of the 526 planned or proposed European projects in the GEI database, 299 are due to start up by 2025.
