Hydrogen capacity rises – but questions remain about slow pace

The global hydrogen sector is showing significant growth, with the number of projects reaching a financial investment decision (FID) doubling over the past year, according to the International Energy Agency. However, current progress is deemed insufficient to meet government targets and climate goals. Meanwhile, new plant and policy developments are looking to strengthen Europe’s position in the global hydrogen economy.

UK government announces new £102mn funding for nuclear and hydrogen technologies

The UK government has further backed the future of nuclear power by investing £77mn to support nuclear fuel production and next generation advanced nuclear reactors in the UK. It has also unveiled a further £25mn of funding for innovative technologies that could generate hydrogen from biomass and waste and is seeking views on proposals to make domestic gas boilers hydrogen-ready from 2026. However, a Commons Committee warns that hydrogen is not a panacea to meeting net zero.

Hydrogen technology at the forefront of climate change mitigation efforts

Hydrogen’s critical role in the energy transition is widely recognised and global demand needs to increase fivefold between now and 2050 to align with the Paris Agreement. This means installed production capacity, particularly low-emission production, must grow 75-fold by 2030 to meet demand. Here, Javier Cavada, EMEA President and CEO at Mitsubishi Power, discusses global developments and his company’s projects.
