Industrial leaders from across the globe call for collective commitment to scale demand for clean hydrogen and its derivatives by 2030 underpinned by robust incentives and mandates.
BRUSSELS, November 11, 2024 – As world leaders gather in Baku this week, a coalition of nearly two dozen industry associations around the globe is calling for urgent action to scale demand for clean hydrogen and its derivatives by 2030, underpinned by robust incentives and mandates.
Accelerating the implementation of the government policies that drive hydrogen deployment can unlock significant environmental, economic, and societal benefits by mid-century:

Global investment in hydrogen has grown 7-fold in just the last four years, reaching $75 billion in committed capital across 434 large-scale projects past FID. However, to fully realize its benefits, hydrogen deployment across end-use sectors would need to reach some 75 Mt p.a. by 2030. Whereas the mandates and demand-side incentives put forward by governments to date could translate into 7 Mt p.a. by 2030 globally.
This is why the Hydrogen Council, together with the leading partner associations worldwide,* puts the spotlight on practical actions that can be taken by governments in the next two years to advance deployment, including the implementation of relevant incentives and mandates, infrastructure development, as well as the opportunity to incorporate hydrogen in countries’ 2025 Nationally Determined Contributions to signal continued commitment and attract investment.
We stand ready to work together with governments to accelerate the energy transition, strengthen energy security, and support political stability and just transitions worldwide.
