Momentum building in gH2due to favorable regional developments
EU
Europe is the global demand center for green molecules,
based on regulatory frameworks
RED III sets binding RFNBO quotas for transport and industry, which leads to an increase in gH2demand and a build-up of additional capacity by 2030 of up to1
RED III transport: 1.1mn t or ~11 GW electrolyzers
RED III industry: 1.3mn t or ~13 GW electrolyzers
RED III implementation is gaining momentum, specifically in transport. Already implemented quotas from ReFuelEU Aviation and FuelEU Maritime provide further potential
India
India's National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to establish
the country as a global hub for producing, using, and exporting green hydrogen and its derivatives
Rapid industrial growth and substantial renewable energy capacity additions lead the way to increase India's energy independence and to accelerate the energy transition and green hydrogen markets
Significant increases planned in infrastructure and production capacity (5mn t annually in 2030) - first projects are now getting underway
Positive outlook supported by strengthening signals of a recovery in the green hydrogen market
