Hydrogen (H2) as an alternate green fuel is taking centre stage across many APAC countries. Developers are showing strong and continued interest across the value chain, as evinced in Aurora’s electrolyser database which shows more than 38 GW of electrolysers in the pipeline in APAC. The development of hydrogen is also well-supported by policymakers. APAC governments are providing substantial financial incentives to drive hydrogen investment with increasing movement, policy direction, and subsidies to support the development of low-carbon hydrogen (H2) value chain and its chemical derivatives.
H2 demand across APAC is forecast to grow exponentially over the next three decades, as countries gear up to meet their net-zero ambitions. Australia is projected to be a major exporter of H2, where total demand in 2050 is forecast to reach 5.5Mtpa, with ~70% of this demand stemming from exports. The key areas of growth will likely be in industry, heating, transport, and power generation.
Whilst promising, the development of a low-carbon H2 supply chain in the region continues to face technological and cost challenges, alongside a nascent understanding of the economics of key supply chain components.
We are at the forefront of modelling and forecasting the economics of H2, and offer an unparalleled and holistic approach that draws on our power market forecasting expertise. Our dedicated H2 team follows policy developments and project activities meticulously to keep our subscribers fully updated. We explore key policies, forecasted demands and supplies, production costs, and export considerations for selected APAC countries.
Our APAC Hydrogen Service offers a one-stop shop for all relevant policies, technologies, and economic assessments, as well as supply and demand analysis.
