Hyrdogen Transition Outlook and Trends Q2 2025

Summary

In Q1 2025, new project announcements accounted for approximately 295ktpa of added capacity across 10 projects. This represented a decrease from the previous quarter, where 900ktpa of capacity was announced across 21 projects. Q1 2025 also represented a small deceleration from Q1 of the previous year, where 373ktpa of capacity was announced across 15 projects, reflecting how a combination of industry headwinds and policy uncertainty in core markets is weighing on the industry.

Q1 2025 saw a smaller volume of project announcements than the previous quarter and the overall capacity outlook experienced a significant decline following the stall of the GHI Spirit of Scotia Project. This quarterly trend reflects both global industry headwinds and political uncertainty particularly in North America following Trump’s inauguration.
