Policy details
SummaryThe 2020 EU Hydrogen Strategy set binding deployment targets for renewable hydrogen, reinforced by the 2022 REPowerEU plan doubling the ambition to 20 Mt/year of renewable hydrogen consumption by 2030 (10 Mt domestic production + 10 Mt imported).
Key thresholdsPhase 1 (by 2024): 6 GW electrolyser capacity → 1 Mt/year domestic renewable H2. Phase 2 (by 2030): 40 GW electrolyser capacity → 10 Mt/year domestic production + 10 Mt/year imports = 20 Mt total. REPowerEU target confirmed May 2022.
Support valueNo direct subsidy under the strategy itself; targets unlock European Hydrogen Bank, Innovation Fund, and IPCEI state-aid frameworks.
Practical implicationProjects aligned with the 40 GW / 10 Mt domestic pathway have the clearest access to EU public funding instruments, but actual 2024 capacity progress has materially undershot the 6 GW Phase-1 milestone — developers should stress-test offtake assumptions against a slower ramp-up.
