Most projects are in Poland, Romania, Russia and the CIS (see Fig.1). Several nations in the region have also announced national hydrogen strategies. Visegrad countries Hungary unveiled its national hydrogen strategy in May 2021, which provided priority objectives for domestic hydrogen production and decarbonisation goals by 2030. These included increasing domestic low-carbon and green hydrogen production capacity to 20,000t/yr and 16,000t/yr, respectively, as well as developing 240MW of electr
