Challenges Facing Global Hydrogen Investment: Policy Delays and Rising Costs

The International Energy Agency's annual Global Hydrogen Review tracks hydrogen production and demand worldwide, focusing on its potential role in meeting energy and climate goals. The report highlights the need to switch hydrogen use to low-emission sources and expand its use in heavy industry and long-distance transport. It aims to inform energy sector stakeholders and help decision makers attract investment and facilitate the deployment of hydrogen technologies. The report is part of the IEA's support for the global stocktake of the Paris Agreement.
