Fueling Change Hydrogen Projects Receive Unprecedented Support in 2025

By Shubhendra Anand , 13 August, 2025

In 2025, the momentum for hydrogen projects on a global level is radically increasing, incorporating hydrogen as a key component alongside other global energy transitions. The introduction of agile capital, regulation, and infrastructure during 2025 tends to transform the vision of the hydrogen projects industry with respect to the market’s needs and priorities and is also expected with the goal of decarbonization.

The EU planned aggressive funding policies along with subsidization in 2025, and subsequently, large-scale hydrogen developments were being executed. In 2025, The Hydrogen Bank of the European Union pledged €3 billion to expedite green hydrogen initiatives within member states, and similarly, in 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy pledged USD 8 billion to establish seven regional hydrogen hubs, which improved production and distribution networks.

In 2025, Australia, Japan, and South Korea signed a trilateral agreement in which they committed 4.5 billion dollars to create integrated hydrogen supply chains, including port infrastructure and carrier technologies which increases the scope of initiatives in the Asia Pacific region. These investments planned for 2025 are designed to establish the region as a strong competitor in the hydrogen projects market internationally.

Hydrogen projects are already beginning to take form in the Middle East. The NEOM Green Hydrogen Company in Saudi Arabia expects to finish constructing its USD 8.4 billion green hydrogen plant by 2025, which will be the largest in the world by 2026. Shell and Ørsted are also planning to build a USD 3 billion green hydrogen plant in the Netherlands in 2025 to decarbonize heavy industry and supply hydrogen to the adjacent markets.

Advancements in technology are expected to drive the momentum for hydrogen in 2025. The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced that the cost of electrolyzers has fallen by 20% since 2024, which improves the opportunity for widespread implementation. Additional levies on carbon and tighter net-zero deadlines have enabled plans for hydrogen projects in 2025 to become pivotal in long-term hydrogen projects sector plans globally.
