According to the International Energy Agency’s hydrogen projects database, these are the top 15 countries with the most green hydrogen capacity that’s operational or under construction or has secured committed financing.



China is currently the world’s largest consumer and producer of hydrogen. Most of the hydrogen it makes today is fossil-fuel-based, but the country has big plans to scale up its green hydrogen production and use the fuel to decarbonize sectors like steel and chemicals production.

Saudi Arabia is next on the list, thanks to the fact that it’s currently building the world’s largest green hydrogen project. A joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products and Neom, the huge facility will include ​“up to 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce up to 600 tonnes” of green hydrogen per day. That would mean the facility will be capable of producing over 200 kilotonnes of green hydrogen per year if it operates every day. For context, the largest existing green-hydrogen facility, in China’s Xinjiang region, has a capacity of just over 44 kilotonnes per year...more
