In 2021, vehicle fueling was the largest intended use of hydrogen, accounting for over half of the hydrogen electrolyzer production capacity worldwide. Meanwhile, industrial applications held a seven percent share of the global electrolyzer's capacity for hydrogen production that year.
An electrolyzer is a device that uses electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen, thus producing hydrogen gas that can be stored.
