Global Projects Data

Gulf Energy Information’s Global Energy Infrastructure (GEI) database is tracking more than 1,400 active H₂ projects around the world. Approximately 20% of these projects are in the Asia-Pacific region. Like other regions around the world, Asia is focused on various pathways to decarbonizing their respective economies. H₂ production and usage is one avenue that many Asian nations are investing in to reach ambitious net-zero goals. Many of these initiatives include heavy investments in H₂ production, H₂ infrastructure and H₂ fueling (e.g., road transport, marine shipping).  

At the time of this publication, the GEI database was tracking more than $350 B in H₂ capacity and infrastructure over the next several years. Most H₂ projects in the region are in Australia (46%), followed by China (13%) and India (12%)—Australia alone accounts for more than $185 B in H₂ capital investments to 2035. When broken down by status, nearly 65% are still in the planning/proposal stage, followed by 17% in the feasibility study phase.H₂T
