Europe is turning to hydrogen
EU must develop blue and green hydrogen resources
Production of both types must grow significantly over the coming years to meet modelled demand
The EU must develop green and blue hydrogen resources if it is to support the optimal development of a hydrogen value chain, according to Hydrogen4EU, a research body backed by firms in the oil and gas industry. Under two scenarios outlined by Hydrogen4EU, European production of both types of hydrogen must reach c.15mn t/yr by 2030. Without both green and blue hydrogen production, the bloc risks not being able to meet the projected demand from sectors looking to decarbonise—principally transport, industry and some heating. “The findings underscore the value of diversity in hydrogen production routes,” says the report. The sectoral demand assumptions are based on data from the European Commis
