Who is going to buy green hydrogen?

Knowing who will purchase renewable (green) hydrogen is the central challenge for the sector. There is a need to find large-scale customers so that production projects can go ahead, transportation infrastructure can be built, and economies of scale and technological improvements can bring down the cost of production dramatically. But without reliable offtake, even projects that can secure subsidies will struggle. And it’s therefore no surprise that many developments are being delayed and cancelled.

2025 half-year wind update - Europe faces wind drought whilst Northern US benefits from polar jet stream movements

The first half of 2025 brought challenging conditions for major wind power centres around the globe as some regions saw reduced wind speed, in particular in most of Europe, whilst some areas, namely Norway, the Northeastern US and areas in Northern China benefited from increased wind. As the share of energy from renewables increases globally, and as energy markets adjust accordingly, weather anomalies, increased sunniness and windiness compared to average or climatological conditions, have an increasingly large impact on energy prices and financial outcomes for asset owners and operators.
