The European Hydrogen Policy Landscape report offers an updated and comprehensive overview of the regulatory ecosystem shaping hydrogen deployment in Europe. The document consolidates European and national policies, legislation, strategies, and standards. This is a substantial update of the previous edition, published in January 2025, incorporating advances made in the interim and reflecting the accelerated pace of institutional consolidation of hydrogen as a pillar of the European energy transition.
Regulatory Coherence, Multilevel Governance, and Signals for Large-Scale Investment
The analysis shows that Europe has made consistent progress in building a more coherent, albeit heterogeneous, regulatory framework among Member States, capable of providing predictability to the deployment of hydrogen technologies and infrastructure. The report highlights the growing articulation between industrial, energy, and climate policies, as well as the importance of technical standards and sustainability criteria to enable integrated markets. At the same time, it points to persistent challenges, such as the need for alignment between national legislation, clarity in defining incentives, and regulatory stability to attract long-term investment. The authors emphasize that the data from the European Hydrogen Observatory are continuously updated, which reinforces the dynamic nature of the sector and the need for periodic reviews.
