The use of water electrolysers (WEs) and fuel cells (FCs) is expanding in various sectors with significant potential for technological advancements. To ensure the environmental benefits of hydrogen systems, comprehensive life cycle assessments (LCAs) are essential, guiding the energy transition supported by policy and business. However, data on their environmental impacts are affected by gaps and uncertainties. This paper analyses the state of play of life cycle inventory (LCI) data for the hydrogen systems and formulates recommendations for improving the situation with regard to completeness and availability of data.
