AbstractAbstractThe IEA's Global Hydrogen Review 2026 provides an update on hydrogenproduction and demand wordice and ienties the aest develoments relating to policy, infrastructure, trade, investments and innovation.The repotis an outout of the Clean Energy Ministerial Hydrogen Initiative and isintended to provide an update to energy sector stakeholders on the status andfuture prospects of hydrogen, and to inform discussions at the Hlydrogen EnergyMinisterial Meeting organised by Japan,The conflit in the Middle East is impacting global supplies of hydrogen andhdroaen derivatives, such as fertlisers, exposing vulnerabities in their supplychains.Aseneravsecuritvconcen move higherup the policy agenda, this year's considers the potential contributions of low-ermissions hydrogen andhydrogen derivatives to enhancing energy security. It takes stock of deploymentThis sixth edition of the Global Hydrogen Review includes novel analysis on whatconstitutes an acceptable cost for low-emissions hydrogen across multiplechallenges and opportunities for the development of new supply chains for lowemissionshvdroaen-based oroductsinAfricalThe report is published alonaside undates to the Hvdrocen Production andInfrastructure Proiects Database and the online Hvdrogen Tracker. Theseresourcesallowuserstoexplore project-levelinformation and data on announcedand operational projects for the production of low-ermissions hydrogen and for thedevelopment of hydrogen infrastructure. It also includes infornation onsianed oft ake agreements for low-emissions hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives, anddetails on more than 1 000 hydrogen policies worldwide that have beenannounced or implemented since 2020.PAGE|3
