The European Commission has launched the next phase of its Hydrogen Market Mechanism, allowing European buyers to consult available supply offers for renewable and low-carbon hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives. The mechanism, hosted under the EU Energy and Raw Materials Platform, aims to improve market transparency and help match industrial off-takers with potential suppliers across Europe […]
The UK hydrogen strategy faces a necessary reset, with growing evidence that focusing on hydrogen demand — rather than headline production targets — will determine whether the sector delivers meaningful decarbonisation or costly missteps. As argued in a recent briefing by Green Alliance, the UK government’s forthcoming Hydrogen Strategy presents a timely opportunity to reset […]
Finland hydrogen development is gaining attention in Europe as low electricity prices, expanding renewable generation and nearby industrial demand improve the economics of hydrogen production, according to analysis published by Hydate. The article highlights Finland’s unusually low power prices by European standards, underpinned by growing wind generation and a stable power system. This creates favourable […]
India hydrogen ambitions are developing alongside a structurally growing LNG import portfolio, shaping longer-term signals for Europe’s gas market, according to analysis by Cedigaz. India is reinforcing its role as a long-term LNG growth market through a diversified portfolio built around Qatari long-term contracts, destination-flexible US supply and limited spot exposure used primarily for optionality. […]
Europe’s hydrogen market saw renewed policy activity in November, signalling a shift toward strengthening long-term offtake structures and improving revenue visibility for European hydrogen projects. While new EU and UK measures aim to accelerate market development, progress remains uneven, with project advances occurring alongside notable cancellations. Policy focus shifts toward offtake certainty Only around a […]
The EU hydrogen auction for 2025 has opened with up to €3 billion in combined EU and national funding, supporting RFNBO and low-carbon hydrogen production alongside maritime and aviation offtake. The new round strengthens Europe’s hydrogen rollout by expanding funding baskets, accelerating permitting, and drawing major national contributions from Germany and Spain. The European Commission […]
The HY4Link hydrogen corridor has secured PCI status from the European Commission, marking a major step toward a connected, cross-border hydrogen network in the Greater Region. By linking Luxembourg, France, Belgium and Germany, the HY4Link hydrogen corridor now gains EU funding support and accelerated permitting as it prepares to integrate into the European Hydrogen Backbone. […]
With COP30 opening in Brazil, the hydrogen sector arrives at the summit in a subdued mood. Fewer-than-expected FIDs, policy uncertainty and slow offtake formation have all weighed on 2025 progress. Industry figures say this reflects a natural “maturation phase”, with only the strongest business cases advancing. But COP30 still offers a platform to push practical […]
European hydrogen developments continued to gather pace through October 2025, with activity spanning financial closes, early-stage engineering, electrolyser deliveries and major acquisitions. The picture that emerges is a market inching steadily from pilot scale toward larger, bankable industrial platforms. Momentum remains uneven across countries, but the breadth of project activity underlines Europe’s commitment to building […]
