alternative hydrogen production processes illustrated by industrial hydrogen production facility

Alternative hydrogen production processes expand beyond conventional electrolysis

A new position paper highlights electrochemical, photolytic and biomass-based pathways that could complement mainstream technologies in specific use cases. While most options remain at early development stages, they offer potential routes to reduce system constraints and broaden deployment. Alternative hydrogen production processes are increasingly being explored as a way to complement conventional electrolysis and address gaps in the clean hydrogen […]

hydrogen demand in shipping orderbook fleet uptake over time

Hydrogen demand in shipping remains limited despite growing interest

Hydrogen demand in shipping is beginning to emerge as decarbonisation targets tighten, but real consumption remains limited and uneven. This report shows that while interest from shipowners is increasing, high costs, infrastructure gaps and regulatory uncertainty continue to constrain demand growth. Shipping is therefore likely to remain a modest source of hydrogen demand in the near to medium term. Hydrogen […]

Financing hydrogen projects chart showing global clean hydrogen project pipeline by development stage

Off-take structures remain central to financing hydrogen projects

Financing hydrogen projects remains constrained despite strong policy ambition and a rapidly expanding global project pipeline. While announced capacity continues to grow, the majority of clean hydrogen projects remain at early pre-FID stages, highlighting unresolved challenges around revenue certainty and risk allocation. Off-take structures sit at the centre of these challenges, as lenders and investors require long-term, bankable contracts to […]

Hydrogen projects face mounting barriers to commercial scale

Hydrogen projects face growing challenges in moving from pilots to commercial deployment as cost pressures, limited off-take and policy uncertainty weigh on investment decisions. Despite ambitious national targets, dozens of projects have been cancelled or postponed, highlighting the gap between political intent and market reality. Cost dynamics remain a major obstacle, with electrolyser prices in Europe and the United States […]
