This is what the massive international clean hydrogen trade may look like in 2050: Irena

March 31, 2022

Clean hydrogen production will need to grow from negligible levels today to 614 million tonnes per year by 2050 in order to keep global heating to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena).

In 2050, about a quarter of all the hydrogen produced could be traded internationally, says the report, World Energy Transitions Outlook 2022.

About half of these volumes would be traded via pipeline, with the other half transported by ammonia ships.

It adds that Morocco, Australia and the US would together account for three quarters of the global ammonia trade market.
