IEA – Global Hydrogen Review 2025

Summary

The main theme of the report is the analysis of hydrogen production and demand on a global scale.

It includes the latest developments in policy, infrastructure, trade, investment, and innovation. Key findings include significant progress in low-emission hydrogen production since the first edition in 2021, with over 200 investment projects.

The report assesses the current level of hydrogen adoption and prospects up to 2030, including a special chapter on Southeast Asia.
