In 2025, green hydrogen has emerged as a transformative clean fuel. Produced by splitting water using renewable electricity, it emits no carbon, making it a vital tool in global decarbonization. From transportation to industrial applications, countries worldwide are making bold moves in this space.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia – NEOM Green Hydrogen Company

Saudi Arabia is constructing the world’s largest green hydrogen facility as part of its visionary NEOM city.

  • Scale: 2.2 GW electrolyzers producing 600 tonnes/day
  • Investment: $8.4 billion with ACWA Power, Air Products & NEOM
  • Output: 1.2 million tonnes of green ammonia annually
  • Launch: Commercial production begins in 2026

🇦🇺 Australia – Western Green Energy Hub

Australia’s Western Green Energy Hub (WGEH) is poised to be the largest renewable-powered hydrogen facility.

  • Capacity: 70 GW (solar + wind)
  • Output: 3.5 million tonnes of hydrogen/year
  • Partners: InterContinental Energy, CWP Global, bp
  • Timeline: FID expected by 2028

Also in progress: Murchison Renewable Hydrogen Project, aimed at exporting green fuels globally.

🇪🇺 European Union – Hydrogen Corridors & Pipelines

Europe is investing in transnational hydrogen infrastructure to meet climate goals.

  • H2Med: Includes BarMar pipeline (Spain–France) to deliver 2M tonnes/year by 2030
  • Germany: 10M tonne target with advanced electrolyzers

EU’s strategy supports decarbonization through cross-border pipelines and hydrogen sharing.

🇺🇸 United States – Hydrogen Hubs Funded by Infrastructure Law

The U.S. is funding regional hydrogen hubs under its $9.5B Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

  • Texas: $4B project (Air Products & AES) – 200 t/day
  • Utah: Advanced Clean Energy Storage – 100 t/day
  • California: Hydrogen fuel cells powering 8.5 MW for backup
  • Oklahoma: Wind-powered H₂ hub for freight and transport

See the U.S. DOE hydrogen hubs program for more.

🇮🇳 India – National Hydrogen Mission

India is rapidly scaling green hydrogen production through public-private collaboration.

  • Biggest Project: ₹10,000 crore (~$1.3B) Andhra Pradesh plant
  • Adani Green: India’s first off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen plant launched in Gujarat
  • Policy: India targets 5M tonnes by 2030 with ₹19,744 crore ($2.3B) incentive package

🇰🇷 South Korea – Ulsan Hydrogen Town

  • Project: Hydrogen pipeline network (188 km)
  • Goal: All public buses hydrogen-powered by 2027
  • Usage: Heating, mobility, and industrial feedstock

🌍 Other Key Players to Watch

  • Chile: Targeting 5 GW electrolyzers by 2025 (Reuters)
  • Kazakhstan: Hyrasia One to export 2M tonnes/year
  • Namibia: 7 GW renewables to export 2M tonnes/year hydrogen
  • Egypt & Oman: Green hydrogen export corridors to Europe in development

📉 Key Challenges

ChallengeDetails
Cost$3–6/kg vs. $1.5/kg for grey hydrogen
InfrastructureLack of pipelines, storage, and refueling facilities
EfficiencyElectrolyzers still need durability and scale
RegulationCertification and incentives vary across countries

✅ Conclusion

Green hydrogen is no longer just a concept—it’s happening. In 2025, nations like Saudi Arabia, India, Australia, the U.S., and the EU are investing billions to develop scalable, clean hydrogen. These moves promise a cleaner, more energy-secure future. However, policy harmonization, innovation, and infrastructure development will decide how fast hydrogen can truly replace fossil fuels.
