number of green hydrogen plants could see up to 343 exajoules worth of annual production output in the optimistic scenario.
The Sub-Saharan region is the region with the greatest potential to produce cost-efficient green hydrogen. According to a 2022 study, Sub-Sahara Africa could produce between 671 exajoules and 1,923 exajoules worth of green hydrogen at below 2 U.S. dollars per kilogram depending on future technological development and capacity buildup in the region. By comparison, Europe, which has a large Economic potential for producing green hydrogen at below 2 U.S. dollars per kilogram worldwide by 2050, by region and scenario (in exajoules per year)
