The worldwide capacity of electrolyzers is forecast to reach 3,075 gigawatts by 2050. Between 2030 and 2050, the global electrolyzer capacity is projected to increase by more than six-fold.
Electrolyzers produce hydrogen by breaking down water into its constituent parts in a process known as electrolysis. As electrolysis requires electricity, an electrolyzer powered by renewable energy would thus produce green hydrogen.
