Power

For generating electricity, hydrogen has little role to play at present, with just over 0.2 percent share of global electricity generation. However, with an urgency to reduce emissions, interest in the use of hydrogen and ammonia in power sector is also rapidly increasing. Several projects have or will be announced that represent around 3500 MW of hydrogen and ammonia power capacity worldwide, by 2030.

The use of hydrogen in fuel cells and ammonia in coal power plants account for around 10 percent and six percent, respectively, of the capacity of the project pipeline by 2030. These projects appear to be mainly concentrated in the Asia Pacific region (40 percent), Europe (33 percent) and North America (26 percent)
