Governments must ‘synchronise’ supply and demand goals – IEA
Imbalances between supply and demand ambitions risk derailing production growth, IEA warns
The IEA has urged governments to address a growing imbalance between projected supply and demand in the hydrogen market that threatens to hamper the growth of production and the industry’s supply chains. Globally, government targets for low-emission hydrogen production call for 27–35mt/yr by 2030, but targets for creating demand account for just 14mt/yr, only half of which is focused on existing hydrogen uses, the IEA said in its Global Hydrogen Review 2023.
