Hydrogen Market Databook 2025: Asia

China and India are leading the region in terms of electrolyser development, while Australia accounts for nearly half of Asia’s active hydrogen projects

Asia has traditionally relied on coal and natural gas for power generation; however, capital-intensive investments are being made to boost the use of green hydrogen/ammonia in numerous countries’ energy mixes.
