Report Launch: Electrolyzers for Hydrogen Production: Technical and Economic Characteristics | Wednesday, February 25, 10:15 AM EST | Hybrid Open Event

Recording is available here.

Join us to the official launch of ESMAP’s new report, Electrolyzers for Hydrogen Production: Technical and Economic Characteristics—the World Bank Group’s first comprehensive global assessment of electrolyzer technologies and their role in scaling renewable hydrogen.

Electrolyzers sit at the heart of the clean hydrogen value chain. By using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, they are a critical enabling technology for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors and advancing national and global net-zero ambitions.

Developed under the 10 GW Lighthouse Initiative, this report is designed as a one-stop, decision-oriented reference for governments, investors, and project developers seeking to accelerate large-scale green hydrogen deployment, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs).

Drawing on extensive engagement with more than 50 experts, the report provides clear, practical insights into:

The current global electrolyzer market and emerging technology trends
Cost structures, key cost drivers, and forward-looking cost trajectories
Supply chains, commercial considerations, and risk allocation
How to select the most appropriate electrolyzer technology for specific project and policy contexts

This launch event will unpack the report’s key findings and implications for policy design, investment decisions, and project development. It is a must-attend session for all those working at the forefront of the clean hydrogen transition.

Come and explore how electrolyzer technologies can unlock the next phase of scalable, bankable renewable hydrogen worldwide.
