Welcome to Australia, where a green-hydrogen boom is in full swing. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. The government elected last year passed the country’s first climate-action law in more than a decade. Phantom projects are not a problem confined to Australia.

To achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the clean hydrogen market capacity can grow to 170 million tons (MtH 2 eq) in 2030 and to 600 MtH 2 eq in 2050. Decarbonizing current and developing new end-uses, it can abate up to 85 GtCO 2 eq in cumulative emissions by 2050, more than twice global CO 2 emissions in 2021.
