Hydrogen Development Projects in Europe

delayed and indecision

The development of hydrogen projects in Europe is facing delays, cancellations, and indecision due to the lack of a clear regulatory framework and national transposition of the European renewables directive. This regulatory uncertainty is causing companies to halt multi-million-euro investments, despite technical and business capacity to move forward. Some companies like Iberdrola and Lhyfe are continuing development, and there are initiatives such as hydrogen refuelling stations in Madrid. The International Energy Agency has revised down the potential for low-emission hydrogen production by 25% by 2030 due to these delays and lack of infrastructure.
