All
A German developer that is pioneering a "franchise model" of green hydrogen project development has secured the cash for work to take it to final investment decision (FID) on the first 100MW phase of its planned gigawatt-scale green H 2 scheme in Lubmin, Germany — a feat it has told Hydrogen Insight it can complete within three
European hydrogen market landscape. It is based on the information available at the European Hydrogen Observatory (EHO) platform, the leading source of data and information on hydrogen in Europe (EU27, EFTA and the UK), providing a full overview of the hydrogen market and the deployment of clean hydrogen technologies.
Hydrogen. The EU''s hydrogen strategy and REPowerEU plan have put forward a comprehensive framework to support the uptake of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen to help decarbonise the EU in a
Green hydrogen (GH2 or GH 2) is hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water, In 2020, the European Commission adopted a dedicated strategy on hydrogen. The "European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center" is tasked with developing a €100 billion a year green hydrogen economy by 2025.

Despite some uncertainties across scenarios, global clean hydrogen demand is projected to grow significantly to 2050, but infrastructure scale-up and technology advancements are needed to meet projected demand. The Global Energy Perspective 2023 models the outlook for demand and supply of energy commodities across a 1.5 C
"The European Hydrogen Bank is therefore contributing to the scale-up of cleaner fuels which will contribute to the decarbonisation of European industry." However, with the successful bids topping out at €0.48/kg of hydrogen, the EHB is unlikely to be able to "bridge the gap" between green hydrogen made with renewable energy and grey H 2
The EU''s hydrogen strategy lays out the European Commission''s vision vis-à-vis hydrogen and its role as an energy carrier in a European integrated energy system. The
Hydrogen is an essential element in the energy transition and can account for 24% of final energy demand and 5.4m jobs by 2050, says the new study by the FCH JU, "Hydrogen Roadmap Europe: A sustainable pathway for the European Energy Transition".
Investor Contacts: TotalEnergies and Air Products have signed a 15-year agreement for the annual supply in Europe of 70,000 tons of green hydrogen starting in 2030. This first long-term deal follows TotalEnergies'' call for tenders for the supply of 500,000 tons per year of green hydrogen to decarbonize TotalEnergies'' European
Big Hydrogen''s lobby wins As a result of Big Hydrogen''s massive lobby efforts, the EU has made hydrogen a cornerstone of its policies, spending billions in public funds to spur the sector. From the 2020 EU hydrogen strategy which kickstarted Europe''s crazy bet on hydrogen, to the subsidy boom (including recovery funds, new state aid
H2Global-Foundation was established as a foundation to support the market ramp-up of green hydrogen in Germany and Europe. Alongside many renowned companies, EEX also contributes its expertise in developing sustainable markets – and, in particular, a trading market for hydrogen.
In the pursuit of this vision, green hydrogen has emerged as a potential game-changer within the European Union''s (EU) ambitious energy strategy. With its potential to revolutionise the way we power our world, green hydrogen has captured the attention of policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders alike.

Since this is a geospatial analysis, the first step is to locate the main hubs of hydrogen production in Europe that make up the current annual production. The Roads2HyCom report [22] presented three categories of hydrogen sources: merchant, which supplies hydrogen to other industrial customers; captive, where the hydrogen
The Commission estimates that around 500 terawatt-hours of renewable electricity will be needed for renewable hydrogen production in the EU by 2030 (that is, around 18 % of the EU''s total electricity production in 2022), and around 46 % of today''s renewable electricity production. The different types of hydrogen production are often classified

Clean hydrogen (''renewable hydrogen'' or ''green hydrogen'') is produced by electrolysis of water with renewable electricity, at a cost range of about 2.5€ -5.5/kg. No GHG is emitted during the process. Grey hydrogen is produced from natural gas by steam-methane reforming at a cost around €1.5/kg, depending on the price of gas and carbon
It will also have an international dimension to facilitate renewable hydrogen imports to the EU. Today''s Communication on the European Hydrogen Bank (COM (2023)156) accompanies the Commission''s legislative proposal for a Net-Zero Industry Act, which aims to boost EU manufacturing of clean technologies.
