Europe Hydrogen Market Report - 2025

Summary

The EU has announced a bold production target of 10mtpa of low-carbon hydrogen capacity by 2030 and also plans to import a further 10mtpa in the same year, which would make it a major demand centre in the context of the global hydrogen market. This reports analyses Europe's upcoming production capacity and emerging demand sectors to assess whether the region will reach its ambitious targets.

Currently, Europe holds 130ktpa of active capacity, with a further 21mtpa of capacity with announced start years by the end of the decade. This statistic reflects the rapid rate of new project announcements in recent years, but the ongoing challenge of executing projects in the current market environment. However, it is notable that Europe accounts for 24% of global post-feasibility capacity, illustrating its strong standing in the global market and the impact of its expansive policy support.

Key Highlights
  • However, Europe’s 2030 capacity outlook has remained largely stable, reflecting the impact of strong policy and regulatory support in boosting industry confidence despite wider market challenges.
  • In fact, an analysis of project activity across the region reveals that post-feasibility capacity current stands at 7.6mtpa. This represents an increase of 4.5% from the previous year, indicating the movement of projects into later stages of development.
  • Europe’s standing within the global hydrogen market has improved in the past year, with the region accounting for 26% of total upcoming capacity and 24% of post-feasibility capacity. However, North America continues to rank first for operational capacity.
  • Transportation, other industrial, and iron & steel are the most commonly listed end-use sectors in the region. Developers of over 650 projects reference the intended use sectors of transportation, often encompassing multiple modes of transport.
Scope
  • Europe's hydrogen market in a global context

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.
