Southeast Asia is poised to produce 480,000 tons of low emissions hydrogen annually by 2030, according to the IEA, driven by 25 announced projects focused on electrolysis. However, progress has been slow, with most capacity concentrated in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Financing challenges and a lack of mature projects hinder development, while the region's renewable potential remains underutilized. State-owned firms could play a pivotal role in advancing hydrogen applications, particularly in fertilization and refining sectors.
