The Netherlands is focusing on enhancing demand certainty for hydrogen through obligations and industrial decarbonisation strategies, as highlighted in a new report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The country has ambitious targets to increase its hydrogen capacity significantly by 2035 and 2050, with specific goals for electrolysis capacity and offshore wind development. Despite the potential for large demand both domestically and for export, investors are calling for more certainty as final investment decisions for hydrogen projects are slow to materialize. The decarbonisation efforts in the electricity sector involve a shift away from natural gas infrastructure, with plans to either transform or decommission existing facilities within the next decade. Options such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) or transitioning to low-carbon hydrogen are being pursued to reduce emissions from industries like chemicals, refineries, and basic metals operations. Collaborative projects like the Delta Rhine Corridor and initiatives in the Port of Rotterdam are pivotal in establishing networks for CO2, hydrogen, and ammonia to support industrial decarbonisation. The report also emphasizes the importance of biofuels and subsidies in meeting future targets, with a focus on increasing the use of biofuels alongside hydrogen in mobility applications. Overall, the Netherlands' journey towards hydrogen involves a mix of strategic investments, regulatory frameworks, and collaborative projects to drive the transition towards a low-emission energy system.
