Recalibrating UK hydrogen towards a demand-led, systems-based approach
The 2021 UK Hydrogen Strategy helped stimulate early industry momentum, but ambition has outpaced credible demand and policy coherence. Continuing with the current trajectory risks high public costs, limited emissions reductions, and missed opportunities to build a replicable, exportable model. Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR) 3 and the forthcoming Hydrogen Strategy…

Making hydrogen work for Poland: Four insights from our expert roundtable in Warsaw
As Europe’s third-largest producer and consumer of hydrogen, Poland will need clean hydrogen to keep critical industry active and well-positioned to meet climate goals. But the country has deployed almost no renewable hydrogen today. With looming regulatory reforms and deadlines, Poland has reached a crossroads and must decide the right path to clean hydrogen…

Getting Hydrogen Right for Poland’s Industrial Decarbonisation
Clean hydrogen will be essential for Poland’s transition to a net-zero economy. As Europe’s third-largest producer and consumer of hydrogen, Poland will require significant volumes of clean hydrogen to keep its industrial base active and well-positioned in a net zero economy. Decarbonising this hydrogen will also be critical for meeting wider European Union (EU) climate targets. Renewable hydrogen will…

States Hold the Key to Industrial Innovation
Introduction: Why Industry Matters and the Role of States The United States’ industrial base is a cornerstone of its economy, employing more than 12 million workers and generating hundreds of billions in payroll. However, industry is also a leading source of pollution, responsible for nearly a quarter of the national…

The State Industrial Policy Playbook – A Policy Guide for Low-Emission Heavy Industry
Executive Summary The industrial sector is a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, employing over 12 million workers and generating $851 billion in annual payroll, but it is also responsible for approximately 12 percent of harmful air pollutants and 23 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While decades of deindustrialization have…

EIB Climate Bank Roadmap 2026-30: Strengthening the EU’s climate action toolbox through strategic sustainable finance
Introduction Climate change arguably remains the most urgent challenge of our time. Record-breaking temperatures month after month and increasingly deadly and economically devastating climate disasters demonstrate that decisive and sustained action is still needed to cut planet-warming emissions. While other priorities for public funding and support have emerged, addressing climate…

Beneath the surface: What you need to know about geologic hydrogen
Hydrogen has long played a vital role in the industrial landscape, from fertilizer production to petroleum refining. It will remain essential in a decarbonizing economy, where it is uniquely positioned to replace today’s carbon-intensive hydrogen use in “no-regrets” sectors such as hard-to-electrify industries, fertilizer production, petroleum refining, maritime shipping, heavy-duty trucking, and aviation. As momentum builds behind…

Geologic Hydrogen in Context
Hydrogen is a critical feedstock that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy industry, heavy-duty trucking, maritime shipping, and aviation. As the world moves to decarbonize hydrogen production, a lesser-known hydrogen source is beginning to draw serious attention: geologic hydrogen. Sometimes…
