Europe is at a critical juncture in its energy transition, emphasizing the need for a shift towards clean energy at competitive prices. The article discusses the potential of producing renewable hydrogen in Europe, specifically from the North Sea region. The authors highlight the opportunity to establish a new pillar of energy resilience in Europe while enhancing industrial competitiveness. By scaling offshore wind capacity in the North Sea, countries aim to leverage the region's wind resources for hydrogen production. Offshore wind farms offer higher capacity factors than onshore ones, making them ideal for consistent electricity generation and powering hydrogen electrolysers. The article emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of producing hydrogen offshore, as it eliminates the need for expensive onshore and offshore electricity grid expansions. Transporting hydrogen via pipelines is found to be cheaper for far-offshore wind parks, outweighing the costs of electrolysers and energy losses. However, the development of Europe's hydrogen market faces challenges, with a significant gap between announced green hydrogen production capacities and actual progress. The article stresses the importance of overcoming regulatory, financial, technical, and spatial barriers to make 'Made in Europe' hydrogen a reality. It suggests innovative financing models like Hydrogen Purchase Agreements and EU-wide cooperation to attract private capital and streamline investment processes. Denmark's progressive regulatory environment and ambitious offshore wind targets are highlighted as factors that can attract investors to the region. Overall, the article advocates for integrated planning and cooperation at the EU level to advance the hydrogen market and accelerate the energy transition.
