A Global Perspective on Decarbonising Economies Through Clean Hydrogen: Adaptation, Supply Chain, Utilisation, National Hydrogen Initiatives, and Challenges
Hydrogen has emerged as a cornerstone of global decarbonisation strategies, offering a flexible pathway to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and accelerate progress towards net-zero targets. However, the development of a globally integrated hydrogen economy remains uneven, reflecting disparities in renewable energy potential, infrastructure readiness, investment capacity, and policy commitment. To better understand these differences and the barriers they create, this study undertakes a comprehensive comparative assessment of the global hydrogen supply chain encompassing resources, production, storage, transport, and end-use applications. Further, a structured analytical framework comprising ten principles and twenty-nine sub-factors was developed to evaluate national hydrogen policies, technological readiness, and enabling conditions across twenty-six countries. The results show that the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, and Germany lead global progress, while many countries remain at an early stage of engagement. These findings further inform persistent regional asymmetries and emphasise the need for stronger international coordination. Drawing on these findings, the paper advances targeted policy and research recommendations to lower production costs, expand storage and transport capacity, and harmonise regulatory frameworks, thereby defining a coherent pathway towards a secure, cost-competitive, and equitable global hydrogen economy by 2050.
