Hydrogen Must Grow at Least 35%/year to 2050 to Align With 1.5°C Pathways

Emissions reductions in these sectors will require hydrogen to scale at an unprecedented rate, especially in the short term, in which the world’s clean hydrogen capacity must grow by close to 100% annually.

Final Energy Demand Met by Hydrogen (Mt H₂)

Note: Demand for most scenarios includes clean hydrogen from all production pathways, not just green hydrogen. IEA NetZero curve includes all hydrogen production, not just clean hydrogen.
