Hydrogen has generated an enormous amount of attention over the past few years: over 50 countries have published hydrogen
The Asia Pacific region had the largest number of hydrogen refueling stations in operation, accounting for 64% of the
Only 36 green hydrogen projects, which use electrolysis powered by renewable energy to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water, are currently operational in the region; the majority
However, by the end of 2024 there were only 1,160 hydrogen refuelling stations in operation worldwide. Of these, 748 were in Asia, with China leading the way with 384 stations.
Led by Oracle Power and Kaheel Energy, this project will see the development of a 1.3 GW renewable energy hub which will produce 55,000 tonnes of green hydrogen using 400 MW
Projects in the pipeline for low-emissions hydrogen production to 2030 add up to almost 480 ktpa. More than 90% of this in Indonesia and Malaysia; two projects alone represent nearly half of

This is the result of an analysis by H2stations.org. 45 countries now have a hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in operation or under construction. However, by the end of 2024 there were only 1,160 hydrogen refuelling stations in operation worldwide. Of these, 748 were in Asia, with China leading the way with 384 stations.
However, the global distribution of hydrogen stations remains highly concentrated. Only 10 countries had 10 or more HRSs, accounting for 92% of the global total. China, South Korea, Japan and Germany have more than 100 operating stations, together accounting for 72% of the global total.
A paid subscription is required for full access. China has the greatest number of hydrogen fuel stations of any country worldwide. As of August 2025, there were Log in or register to access precise data. operational hydrogen refueling stations in the country. This was followed by South Korea and Japan.
Of these, 748 were in Asia, with China leading the way with 384 stations. South Korea had 198 refuelling stations, while Japan had 161 refuelling sites. By comparison, the hydrogen infrastructure in Europe is still sparse: at the end of last year, there were only 294 refuelling stations, most of them in Germany: 113 refuelling stations.
