Increase in projects for electrolysers producing green hydrogen
Before the arrival of coronavirus, the volume of electrolyser projects to produce green hydrogen from renewable energy had almost tripled in five months, according to Wood Mackenzie. By October, Mackenzie had reported 3.2 gigawatts of announced cell capacity, 12 times the cumulative installed capacity at the time. By March 2020, the pipeline had grown to 8.2 gigawatts, 31 times today's cumulative installed capacity.
In recent months,
