Europe is accelerating its transition towards a green hydrogen inclusive economy. Recent geopolitical and energy market volatilities require member states to drastically accelerate the energy transition and increase Europe’s energy independence from fossil fuels. The Benelux and its neighboring region are at the centre of the future hydrogen backbone for Europe.
WaterstofNet carried out a study on behalf of the Benelux General Secretariat focusing on the demand of hydrogen by 2030 & 2050 covering the Benelux-countries and their neighbouring regions: Hauts-de-France, Grand Est, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate and Lower Saxony. Key figures will be presented to demonstrate the importance of the region as well as recommendations for policy makers to strengthen cross-border cooperation in hydrogen.
