A new study published in the journal ‘Nature Energy’ shows that in 2023, less than ten percent of the originally announced green hydrogen production was realised. The main reason: hydrogen remains an expensive good for which there is little willingness to pay.
Adrian Odenweller and Falko Ueckerdt from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) determine this competitiveness gap for all 1232 globally announced hydrogen projects. They advocate for a robust political strategy that is based on realistic expectations for hydrogen and closes the implementation gap.
In this video Adrian Odenweller presents the study and its findings.
