The world's green hydrogen circuits
Where green hydrogen is produced, where it is consumed, and by which route it travels. An interactive globe of the corridors that are built, planned, or still only announced.
Reading the map
Every announced project is not a project that will be built. The map separates what is operating from what has reached a final investment decision, what is planned, and what remains a policy target — because those four things have very different weights, and a map that blurs them is a map that misleads.
