Study on sustainable supply chain and industrialisation of hydrogen technologies

A recent study highlights Europe’s position in the renewable hydrogen sector, emphasising its leadership in electrolyser manufacturing and cutting-edge R&D. Despite these strengths, the report identifies challenges such as reliance on critical raw materials (CRMs), limited production capacity, and regulatory hurdles. To boost Europe's competitiveness and sustainability, the study recommends enhancing circularity, increasing manufacturing scale, closing technology gaps, and securing long-term regulatory and financial support. Strengthening supply chains is vital to Europe's energy transition and to compete globally in hydrogen technologies.
