Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis has warned that Germany risks wasting tens of billions of euros by overestimating future hydrogen demand.The report argues that Germany’s hydrogen infrastructure plans are based on projections that may not materialise, as electrification and cheaper alternatives reduce hydrogen use across industry, heating, transport and power...
Brussels, 7 May 2026 Today, the European Commission has selected nine hydrogen production projects under the third auction of the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB). Across seven countries in the European Economic Area, the projects are expected to provide almost 1.1 giga-watts of electrolyser capacity and produce over 1.3 million tonnes of hydrogen over their first...
Germany risks overbuilding its hydrogen network and wasting tens of billions of euros by relying on overoptimistic hydrogen demand projections, according to new research from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis ('IEEFA'). IEEFA said Germany’s hydrogen demand is likely to fall short of official projections, risking costly overbuilding of infrastructure and...
