Europe Reassesses Hydrogen's Role in Economic Policy
The European Union is taking a harder look at hydrogen's place in its economic and climate strategy. With billions already committed, the question is whether to double down, scale back, or fundamentally redirect the continent's hydrogen ambitions.
Key Takeaways
- The EU's hydrogen vision is being reassessed as production costs remain high and infrastructure deployment lags behind targets
- Installed electrolyzer capacity is far below the 40 GW target for 2030 set in the EU Hydrogen Strategy
- Direct electrification through batteries, heat pumps, and electric motors is proving faster and cheaper for many targeted applications
