Low-emission production represented less than 1% of total hydrogen production over the last three years. In 2025 low-emission hydrogen production grew by 9%, reflecting the growth in commissioning projects. More than 200 MW of electrolysers started operating in 2025, including 160 MW in China and more than 30 MW in Europe.
Reference-factory.H2 – electrolyzer and fuel cell production
The Reference-factory.H2 concept also is a key element of the FRHY – Reference Factory for High-Rate Electrolyzer Production group from the hydrogen lighthouse project involving the Fraunhofer concept “H2GO – National Action Plan for Fuel Cell Production,” in which 14 other Fraunhofer Institutes are involved.
