Global hydrogen project capacity has more than doubled to 6.9 million metric tons per year with $130 billion invested, driven by energy security and industrial resilience concerns following disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. China leads investment with $44.5 billion committed, while Europe and the US also see significant capacity growth linked to regulatory and policy support.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your hydrogen startup’s market just expanded beyond decarbonization to urgent energy security needs, creating new demand in import-dependent regions like India. This shift opens short-term funding and partnership opportunities but demands faster execution to capitalise on resilience-driven projects.
