As companies strategically reassess their capital allocation - largely driven by factors such as economic conditions, technological advancements and shifting market dynamics - major energy players are narrowing their focus to hydrogen ventures with the strongest commercial potential. This includes projects likely to advance to final investment decisions and secure reliable offtake agreements from industries most viable for uptake such as refineries, chemicals, and steel. Energy companies seeking to reach FID in hydrogen projects must navigate the nexus of policy frameworks, demand certainty, cost structures, and evolving technologies. Delivering energy in the most cost- and carbon-efficient way possible requires meticulous permitting, robust contract negotiations, and proactive demand creation, particularly in regions offering the best production economics. Despite challenges, the emerging hydrogen market offers substantial opportunities for growth and decarbonisation.
