Green hydrogen and its derivatives are seen as key building blocks for the decarbonisation of energy-intensive sectors, aviation and shipping, and for the transformation of cross-sectoral energy systems. In addition to its impact on climate policy, hydrogen also offers numerous opportunities in terms of industrial policy, particularly with regard to the equipment supply sector. The groundwork for the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy has therefore been laid, particularly in recent years.

Long-term benefits of hydrogen clearly recognised

At present, however, the impression is emerging that the planned developments have stalled. A specific term has even been coined for this: the ‘hydrogen implementation gap’. The reasons for this are complex. Whilst the long-term benefits of green hydrogen are clearly recognised, the concrete regulatory implementation at both European and national levels is giving rise to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties affect both hydrogen producers and, in particular, hydrogen consumers and their willingness to pay, thereby stalling the ramp-up.
