Who is going to buy green hydrogen?

Knowing who will purchase renewable (green) hydrogen is the central challenge for the sector. There is a need to find large-scale customers so that production projects can go ahead, transportation infrastructure can be built, and economies of scale and technological improvements can bring down the cost of production dramatically. But without reliable offtake, even projects that can secure subsidies will struggle. And it’s therefore no surprise that many developments are being delayed and cancelled.
