While Eastern Europe, Russia, and the CIS collectively represent only 4% of the active hydrogen project market share, the region is making significant strides in the development of hydrogen initiatives. Countries like Poland, Romania, and Russia, along with the Visegrad nations, are at the forefront of investing in low- and zero-carbon hydrogen pathways. National hydrogen strategies have been unveiled, with Hungary's strategy in May 2021 setting ambitious targets for domestic hydrogen production and decarbonisation by 2030. Hungary plans to increase its low-carbon and green hydrogen production capacities significantly, aiming to develop 240MW of electrolysis capacity. This emphasis on hydrogen projects in the region underscores a positive trend towards sustainable energy practices and aligns with the global push for decarbonisation.
