2024 – Challenges, Silver Linings and the Road Ahead for the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry
Ballard CEO Perspectives: 2024 proved to be a challenging yet pivotal year for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry, with Ballard Power Systems at the forefront. Amid policy uncertainties and a shift in investor sentiment that dampened funding and project progress, Ballard not only navigated these challenges but also secured record orders and advanced next-gen fuel cell technology. Despite several industry players facing financial difficulties, leading to restructurings and contemplations of strategic alternatives, Ballard's resilience and strategic adjustments underscored a year where crucial advancements and substantial project commitments—such as the NEOM hydrogen project—were still achieved. Notably, the industry's future remains promising with significant investment in hydrogen projects and growing interest in hydrogen applications, even as it braces for further consolidation and rationalization in 2025.

Will Recent US Hydrogen Guidance Prove a Game Changer?
Roxana Bekemohammadi , our Founder and Executive Director, was interviewed by Energy Intelligence on the U.S. Treasury's finalized guidance for hydrogen tax credits, which balances stringent low-carbon requirements with new flexibilities. "While there may be changes or delays in implementation, the established framework has strong industry and bipartisan support, which could help maintain its core components. However, stakeholders should prepare for potential modifications and ensure that ongoing projects remain adaptable to policy changes." While the guidance poses operational challenges, it provides a pathway to scale hydrogen, with stakeholders urged to stay adaptable amid potential policy shifts.
