Renewable Hydrogen Resilience in Europe
Key Ideas
  • Renewable hydrogen projects in Europe are gaining momentum despite recent setbacks, with over 3 GW of electrolysis capacity moving forward.
  • State-backed subsidy support auctions and end-user mandates are crucial in driving final investment decisions for renewable hydrogen.
  • Experts attribute project failures to natural attrition in the emerging clean hydrogen sector, showing resilience and adaptability.
  • Adair Turner from the Energy Transitions Commission expresses confidence in the market's evolution despite challenges.
Despite recent high-profile project cancellations, renewable hydrogen projects in Europe are steadily advancing. Over 3 GW of electrolysis capacity has moved ahead to produce 415,000 mt/year of renewable hydrogen, signaling growth in the sector. State-backed subsidy support auctions and end-user mandates play a pivotal role in driving final investment decisions, highlighting the commitment to cleaner energy sources. Although there have been setbacks, experts view these project failures as part of the natural evolution in the nascent clean hydrogen sector rather than insurmountable obstacles. Adair Turner, Chair of the Energy Transitions Commission, remains optimistic about the market's future, emphasizing the resilience and adaptability of the industry. This positive outlook signifies a strong foundation for the continued development and expansion of renewable hydrogen initiatives in Europe.
