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. That year is also expected to see the highest number of European hydrogen projects become operational, with 96 announcing startup for then. In Asia Pacific, 117 projects are planned or proposed to begin operations by 2025, while in North America the figure is 91. The proportion of projects in the pipeline due to start by 2025 is similar across each region,
