The Netherlands faces challenges in developing green hydrogen projects, with issues like high costs, policy uncertainties, and infrastructure limitations hindering investments. A report by Invest-NL and Common Futures emphasizes the importance of transparency in the market to drive the adoption of green hydrogen. Currently, the Dutch hydrogen market is dominated by gray hydrogen, lacking transparency in pricing and trading volumes. Overcoming short-term obstacles through subsidy schemes and market structures encouraging transparent trade can position the Netherlands as a frontrunner in the hydrogen market. Stephan Falcão Ferreira from Invest-NL highlights the need for both short and long-term investments to establish a sustainable and transparent hydrogen market. By working with stakeholders to address challenges and promote transparency, the Netherlands can not only achieve its climate goals but also boost economic growth.
