Global Spending in Hydrogen Projects to Reach $300bn by 2030
(EnergyMarketPrice.com) Global hydrogen project pipeline will see strong growth in the next ten years as investments in the sector are predicted to reach $300 billion (£215bn) in total.
That’s according to a new report by the Hydrogen Council and McKinsey & Company, which suggests almost 228 large-scale projects in more than 30 countries have already been announced.
The analysis estimates 85% of these projects are located in Europe, Asia, and Australia. READ MORE
