European electrolysis capacity by EU member state from 2020 to 2026

European electrolysis capacity grows, but hydrogen demand struggles to follow

European electrolysis capacity is expanding steadily as projects move from planning into construction and early operation across several EU member states. However, hydrogen demand is developing more slowly, creating a widening gap between electrolyser build-out and actual offtake. European electrolysis capacity continues to rise, supported by strong policy frameworks, public funding and expanding manufacturing capability. Installed and committed capacity has […]

Unit CAPEX comparison for hydrogen-to-power and natural gas generators in the UK

UK hydrogen-to-power faces steep cost barriers

Hydrogen-to-power remains a costly option within the UK electricity system, with capital and fuel costs well above competing flexibility solutions. While hydrogen-fired generators are technically viable, high hydrogen production costs and efficiency losses undermine their competitiveness. Hydrogen-to-power is often cited as a potential solution for long-duration flexibility in a renewables-heavy UK power system, but cost remains a major constraint. Capital […]

Hydrogen demand in India by sector under different 2030 scenarios

Hydrogen demand in India lags project announcements and policy ambition

Hydrogen demand in India is lagging behind ambitious project announcements and policy targets, with most planned capacity still lacking firm offtake, clear demand signals and enabling infrastructure, according to a new IEEFA briefing. India has announced a large pipeline of hydrogen projects, but demand-side constraints continue to slow execution. While total hydrogen demand could reach 15–20 million tonnes per annum […]

Chart showing hydrogen production costs by electrolysis technology under different electricity price assumptions

Hydrogen production costs depend on electrolysis efficiency and power prices

Hydrogen production costs remain the key constraint on scaling renewable hydrogen, with electricity prices, utilisation rates and system efficiency outweighing technology choice alone. The analysis shows that cost reductions will depend more on access to low-cost power and high operating hours than incremental electrolyser improvements. Hydrogen production costs are shaped primarily by electricity prices, electrolyser utilisation and capital intensity rather […]
