The potential of hydrogen: a guide to key European markets

In the last year, significant steps have been taken towards the development of a low carbon hydrogen economy in Europe.

Government funding for national low carbon hydrogen production projects is beginning to be deployed and the standards defining the low carbon quality of the hydrogen produced are becoming clearer.

The development of hydrogen transport networks and storage facilities is now becoming a priority in a number of jurisdictions and distinct import and export markets are beginning to emerge.

The 2023 edition of the Hydrogen Guide reviews the changing regulatory landscape across the hydrogen value chain in seven key jurisdictions:

• France
• Germany
• Italy
• The Netherlands
• Portugal
• Spain
• United Kingdom

This guide is intended to assist developers, investors and other market participants to navigate:

• the regulatory frameworks for hydrogen across the value chain from production to end-use
• the emerging standards for low carbon hydrogen

Download the guide to access insights on recent developments and on the expanding role of hydrogen across Europe, as momentum builds towards the development of a global hydrogen economy.
