Hydrogen Policy Handbook H1 2026

Summary

This hydrogen policy handbook provides a global overview, spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, detailing key regional production targets, regulatory frameworks, and policy instruments designed to accelerate hydrogen adoption. It also details financial mechanisms such as subsidies, funding packages, tax incentives, and public-private partnerships that are supporting infrastructure investment, innovation, and market development across diverse hydrogen pathways.

Key Highlights
  • Most major economies have developed a national plan or strategy to accelerate hydrogen deployment and transition to low-carbon economies. A growing number of countries are also establishing financial incentives and targets.
  • In December 2025, China’s National Energy Administration announced that it had approved 41 clean-hydrogen pilot projects to receive stage support in the form of preferential loans and subsidies.
  • In December 2025, the EU Commission launched the third Innovation Fund auction for hydrogen production under the European Hydrogen Bank. With a budget of €1.3 billion, the auction will support the production of RFNBO hydrogen or electrolytic low-carbon hydrogen.
Scope
