Europe has emerged as a leader in low-carbon hydrogen strategies, supported by policy instruments, stringent emissions standards and an evolving network for hydrogen transport across the continents. Europe’s hydrogen strategies have been further strengthened through international alliances with Japan, South Korea, and Australia, fostering technology sharing, harmonised standards, and collaboration on research. However, hydrogen project development has stalled due to slow regulatory implementation and high production costs. It is estimated only 4% of announced hydrogen production projects, set for completion by 2030, have taken a final investment decision. What does Europe need to do to address high entry barriers and uncertainty in project viability, in order to realise its extensive hydrogen ambitions?
