European Commission and electrolyser makers agree strategy to scale up manufacturing capacity to meet RepowerEU hydrogen targets
The European Commission has pledged a raft of new financial and regulatory measures to help electrolyser manufacturers ramp up their production capacity tenfold by 2025 to meet the EU’s ambitious RepowerEU green hydrogen production targets. The plan was agreed under a joint declaration signed in Brussels by the Commission and 20 CEOs from the European electrolyser manufacturing sector. The EU doubled its 2030 hydrogen production target to 10mn t in March as part of RepowerEU, an emergency strategy designed to curb its reliance on Russian oil and gas in response to the war in Ukraine. Achieving the RepowerEU goal would require an increase of electrolyser production to around 25GW/yr and an in
