๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐” presents an outlook on the role of hydrogen in achieving net-zero emissions.
It details the projected global hydrogen production capacity required to meet net-zero targets by the year 2050 and breaks down this capacity by end use.
The graphic illustrates that in 2022, the total existing hydrogen capacity is 95 million metric tons per annum (Mt/yr), which is expected to increase to 430 Mt/yr by 2050 to meet the demand for sectors like transport, industry, power generation, refining, and others.
๐๐ฆ๐บ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ๐ค๐ญ๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฆ:
– The demand for hydrogen is expected to rise significantly in the coming decades as part of efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
– The biggest increments in hydrogen capacity targets are for transport and industry.
– The planned hydrogen production capacity worldwide is insufficient, with only 47% of the needed production capacity by 2050 currently in the pipeline, indicating a substantial gap in meeting the future demand.
The infographic emphasizes the importance of hydrogen in sectors that are challenging to decarbonize like aviation and marine shipping.
