This report provides the following information:

Background into the hydrogen economy including an introduction to hydrogen, hydrogen color classifications (green, blue, grey), hydrogen value chain, and the role of green hydrogen in the global hydrogen economy.

Regional hydrogen policies and regulations: an overview of national hydrogen targets, the global hydrogen policy framework and the key implications across major regions, including the United States (Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)), Europe (Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III)), China (15th Five-Year Plan), and other key markets. The overview also covers hydrogen certification schemes.

Analysis of electrolyzer technologies: covering alkaline water electrolyzers (AEL), proton exchange membrane electrolyzers (PEMEL), anion exchange membrane electrolyzers (AEMEL), and solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) technologies. For each technology, IDTechEx provides:

1. A summary of the technology's operating principles and plant layout, advantages and disadvantages, stack designs, and materials and components.
2. Analysis of key stack design and material innovation trends, supported by relevant case studies.
3. Benchmarking electrolyzer system key performance characteristics, along with system-level and project-level case studies.
4. Analysis of balance-of-plant (BoP) component requirements.

Overview of alternative and novel electrolyzer technologies including seawater electrolysis, and other emerging green hydrogen production technologies.

Key techno-economic considerations and cost structure of green hydrogen:

1. Overview of key considerations for electrolyzer selection and an influence matrix for hydrogen plant performance.
2. Breakdown of the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH), segmented into CapEx and OpEx, with CapEx further broken down by stack components and balance-of-plant (BoP) components. The analysis also includes sensitivity analysis of LCOH across different influencing factors and benchmarking of green hydrogen LCOH across different regions.
3. Assessment of renewable energy considerations (e.g., capacity factors) and the structures available for securing renewable energy supply.

Electrolyzer market analysis: overview of major green hydrogen and electrolyzer market trends, supported by key case studies and player profiles that illustrate market developments.
