China produces more electrolyzers than any other country

China is expected to have the capacity to produce over 40 GW of electrolyzers annually — around 40% of the world's electrolyzers 1. Despite this impressive capacity, some Chinese manufacturers operate at only 10% of capacity due to a lack of demand 2.
