An adjusted strategy is needed to ground green hydrogen expectations in reality
Adrian Odenweller, Falko Ueckerdt
Abstract
Scaling up green hydrogen will be difficult if future projects solely depend on expensive subsidies to overcome competitiveness barriers. Policy makers need to implement supportive policies grounded in realistic expectations, focusing on hydrogen-specific support in sectors where electrification isn’t feasible, while also gradually introducing technology-neutral market mechanisms such as carbon pricing.
