Global Hydrogen Review 2026 Webinar (afternoon session)
…is impacting global supplies of hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives such as fertilisers, exposing vulnerabilities in their supply chains. As energy security concerns move higher up the policy agenda, this year's report considers the potential contributions of low-emissions hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives to enhancing energy security. It takes stock of deployment to date to assess the level of hydrogen uptake that could be achieved by 2030.The report’s main authors will present and discuss their main findings in two webinar events for different time zones on 29 July, at 9:30-10:30 (CEST) and again at 16…

New projects, partnerships and policies are needed to address supply chain risks for rare earth elements
New IEA report highlights growing mismatch between accelerating use of rare earths across a wide range of technologies and slow pace of supply diversification globally Rare earth elements are moving rapidly to the forefront of global policy making for energy, transport, advanced manufacturing and digital technologies as demand continues to expand while supply chains remain highly concentrated, according to a new IEA report developed to inform G7 discussions this year.The importance of the 17 rare earth elements that underpin a wide range of technologies – from electric vehicles and AI data centres to robotics and defence systems – has grown sharply…

Hydrogen
Low-emissions hydrogen projects are set to grow strongly despite wave of cancellations and persistent challenges
Worldwide hydrogen demand increased to almost 100 million tonnes in 2024, up 2% from 2023 and in line with overall energy demand growth. The vast majority of this was met by hydrogen produced from fossil fuels without measures in place to capture associated emissions. Sectors that have traditionally used hydrogen, such as oil refining and industry, remained the biggest consumers.
The uptake of low-emissions hydrogen is not yet meeting the expectations set by industry and governments in recent years, especially in light of…
