Imported green hydrogen ‘will be cheaper than domestic’ by 2030
Europe’s low-carbon hydrogen demand could be met by both domestic and imported production
As European countries look to renewable hydrogen to meet their ambitious net-zero targets, they will have to seek out the most cost-efficient sources to meet increasing future demand, according to energy market analytics firm Aurora Energy Research. The energy transition will require rapid delivery of blue and green hydrogen at scale if countries are to reach their net-zero carbon emissions targets. Domestic production is unlikely to be sufficient to meet all demand, and many countries may be forced to look further afield. Renewable hydrogen demand in Europe remains low, at around 300TWh, and is mostly consumed by the ammonia and industrial sectors. But Aurora predicts hydrogen demand in Eur
