Vision 2030

Achieving Europe's electrolyser leadership

Clean, locally produced energy

By 2040, all European hydrogen demand can be met by electrolysers, contributing critically to sustainability and resilience goals.

Europe's next growth engine

With Europe leading globally in electrolysis, we can unlock up to €200bn in export value, making electrolysers a key contributor to European industrial competitiveness.

1 million direct jobs

The green hydrogen value chain can create approximately 1 million direct jobs across the EU — while securing millions more in downstream industries.

Competitive clean hydrogen

With the right policy framework and successful scale-up, electrolytic hydrogen will become the most competitive form of clean hydrogen.

Strategic Asks

Three areas for urgent political support to place global leadership in electrolyser industry at the heart of the Union's industrial policy.

1. Accelerate market creation and demand stimulatioN

Demand creation is indispensable because without firm offtake, projects stall and factories idle.

Make RED III implementation work

Create growing demand via RefuelEU initiatives

Leverage public procurement for early market creation

Implement product labelling

2. Establish workable regulatory definitions for hydrogen

Clear and pragmatic regulatory frameworks are essential to unlock investment and enable market deployment.

Urgently revise and clarify the RFNBO delegated act before the end of 2026

Ensure swift scrutiny and clear methodologies in the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Delegated Act

3. Streamline and strengthen funding mechanisms

The EU must consolidate and target funding to drive innovation and accelerate deployment.

Create an EU Financing Platform for RFNBO and low-carbon electrolytic hydrogen

Back technology "Made in Europe"

Integrate hydrogen into EU defence planning

Strengthen the Hydrogen Mechanism
