Description

As the energy transition gathers pace in Europe, market evidence and the growth trajectory of alternative/low-carbon hydrogen point to a niche market opportunity where production and offtake will likely be dominated by traditional hydrogen consumption industries, including refining, chemicals, and petrochemicals, as well as heavy industrial sectors like steel and glass manufacturing. Our latest analysis of key EU markets and the UK indicates that total low-carbon hydrogen production will likely reach 3 million tonnes by 2030, led by green and blue hydrogen, followed by purple and bio-based hydrogen, with the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain leading from the front. As growth becomes increasingly complex in this market, one of the key enablers for investors and project developers to overcome this challenge has been long-term funding support, such as contracts for difference payments offered over a ten- to fifteen-year horizon in countries like France and Italy. Such mechanisms will be vital for the hydrogen industry to achieve cost competitiveness with conventional hydrogen.

This study outlines how major European markets are aligning with their respective national hydrogen strategies through a three-dimensional rating and ranking based on regulatory drivers, market access, and physical market design in each country covered in scope, followed by long-term production forecasts of different types of hydrogen, an overview of key incumbents across the hydrogen value chain, and the top offtakers in each country market.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
