Equinor's latest scenario outlooks suggest that clean hydrogen is set to have an expanding role in global energy systems by 2050, with its contribution contingent upon factors like decarbonisation pace, infrastructure development, and cost dynamics. In the Walls scenario, clean hydrogen demand is expected to rise significantly, albeit reaching only 2% of total final energy demand by mid-century due to high production costs and infrastructure challenges. While Europe is championing hydrogen for decarbonisation, issues around energy affordability hinder its progress. Comparatively, North America is poised to lead in hydrogen due to favorable natural gas prices and export potential. Asia-Pacific, particularly China, shows promise in becoming a significant hydrogen consumer by leveraging renewable resources. The more ambitious Bridges EP23 scenario envisions clean hydrogen as a key player in global decarbonisation, with green hydrogen surpassing fossil fuel-based hydrogen. Equinor's outlook underscores the importance of hydrogen in decarbonising challenging sectors, despite uncertainties in economics, technology, and policy.
