"So together carbon-free steel and ammonia will require 135 million tonnes of hydrogen. Add in transportation and heating, other industries (from glassmaking to food preservation), and the total demand for green hydrogen could be easily as high as 500 million tonnes by 2050.
Electricity needed to produce that would equal about 86 per cent of total global electricity consumption in 2022. Just to produce enough hydrogen."
