H2Global Foundation Market Share Analysis for June 2026

Africa holds immense promise for low-cost renewable hydrogen production. Yet Africa’s diversity means countries have different starting points for developing a hydrogen economy and driving green industrialization.This research introduces a comprehensive framework to evaluate countries’ readiness, incorporating five key dimensions: water and renewable energy potential; national hydrogen commitment; domestic anchor demand; country risk; and export infrastructure. Through an innovative country clustering analysis, this report identifies three groupings with potential for hydrogen market creation: front runners; momentum builders; and strong foundation. Concrete policy recommendations are made for each group and case studies illustrate the outcomes.
