Global Hydrogen Review 2025
Global Hydrogen Review 2025 The Global Hydrogen Review is an annual publication by the International Energy Agency that tracks hydrogen production and demand worldwide, shedding light on the latest developments on policy, infrastructure, trade, investments and innovation. The report is an output of the Clean Energy Ministerial Hydrogen Initiative and is intended to provide an update to energy sector stakeholders on the status and future prospects of hydrogen, and to inform discussions at the Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting organised by Japan.The sector has progressed significantly since the first publication of the Global Hydrogen Review in 2021. Low-emissions hydrogen…

Country
Madagascar
Around a quarter of the population of Madagascar has access to electricity, and only 1.5% has access to clean cooking facilities. In 2019, Madagascar’s energy mix was dominated by biofuels and wastes (85%), with oil products (11%), coal and hydro accounting for the rest of the total energy supply. In 2020, less than 5% of the population had access to clean cooking and 27% had access to electricity. The Government of Madagascar has set a target of reaching 70% electricity access rate by 2030.

Country
New Zealand
New Zealand has a diversified energy mix, with significant production of both hydropower and geothermal. As the country embarks on an ambitious energy transition, it has many natural advantages, including a strong renewable resource base. New Zealand already has a low-emissions electricity system, with over 80% of electricity coming from renewable sources. The key challenge will be to decarbonise other end-use sectors through clean power and support investments in new technologies to achieve deeper emissions cuts across all sectors. Notably, the transport sector accounts for the highest share of emissions and is almost entirely dependent on oil while…

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…

Subsidies for FCEV program (Round 3)
China has allocated CNY 2.34 billion (USD 330 million) in its latest round of funding to support fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) development, bringing the total FCEV program funding to CNY 5.11 billion (USD 700 million) over the past few years. This funding targets seven provinces and three cities, with the top three recipients being Hebei (CNY 793 million), Beijing (CNY 450 million), and Henan (CNY 420 million), reflecting a strong regional push to scale up hydrogen mobility infrastructure and adoption.

Hydrogen incentives in Liaoning Province
China is offering targeted incentives to support hydrogen infrastructure and vehicle adoption. Each new or expanded hydrogen refueling station (HRS) is eligible for a subsidy of RMB 1 million (approximately USD 140,000), provided it has a minimum capacity of 500 kg/day and is completed by the end of 2025. Additionally, hydrogen fuel cell trucks traveling on the Shenyang-Dalian Expressway are exempt from toll fees, further encouraging the use of hydrogen-powered freight transport.
