On the occasion of COP27, Hydrogen Europe is proud to present the second edition of its Special Report on Hydrogen, a publication developed in partnership with Revolve.

The development of the hydrogen economy is one of the central topics in the discussions surrounding the energy transition. However, the potential that this molecule has in paving the way to a climate-neutral society is still partly unknown. That is why we have developed this report with analyses of the current state of play of the industry and a selection of case studies involving Hydrogen Europe’s members aimed at demonstrating how hydrogen is a reality and how its many applications can positively impact our daily lives.

This year’s edition saw the participation of a variety of contributors. To ensure the quality of the content and to represent the different voices that constitute the sector, the African Hydrogen Partnership and Women in Green Hydrogen contributed with feature articles, while Vice-President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans wrote the forward where he outlined the commitment of the European Commission in the roll-out of the hydrogen sector.

Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe, said: “Fighting climate change requires joint visions, free of preconceptions, to embrace solutions that can secure a future for generations to come. I hope you will enjoy reading our report and grasp how this molecule, the most abundant in the universe, can be a valuable ally in the global clean energy transition.”

We would like to thank all our members that supported us by providing their enriching contributions, our partners Revolve, the African Hydrogen Partnership, and Women in Green Hydrogen for their work and input as well as, last but not least, EVP Timmermans for his foreword.
