Bringing the discussion downstream

Hydrogen has emerged as the premier energy choice for Europe. As the continent pivots towards maximising its production, we need to look at the parties that determine the shape and size of the market: the offtakers. How much will be produced, which directions pipelines are built, and how much should be imported all depend on Europe’s ability to transition and grow its industry.

Yet, Europe’s industry is pressed beneath billowing energy prices, difficult access to critical resources, and fierce competition from abroad. Stepping into a (generally) more expensive source of energy requires bold action within a challenging economic and political landscape. Only with a concentrated effort, from industry, government, energy, and other segments from the value chain can we create a sustainable case for the hydrogen market in Europe. This demands innovative leaders who dare to stand tall, step ahead, and pioneer change.

Uniting these forward-thinking leaders is crucial. It enables sectors to synchronise their timelines, infrastructure, and future aspirations, fostering a collective reaping of the maximum benefits from their investments, hopefully making an expensive transition feasible and lucrative.
