ACER webinar: Where next for hydrogen-consuming industries and infrastructure?

This webinar will present the main findings of ACER’s 2026 Monitoring Report on European hydrogen markets (to be published on 13 November 2026).

The event offers stakeholders, policymakers and industry participants an opportunity to discuss ACER’s latest findings, with a focus on the future of hydrogen-consuming industries and hydrogen infrastructure in Europe.

Event objective

The EU’s capacity to produce hydrogen from electricity is growing but remains well below 2030 ambitions. Despite hydrogen’s role in EU decarbonisation pathways, investment is held back by high costs, policy uncertainty and difficulties in securing firm, long-term demand in some sectors.

This ACER report:

• examines investment in electrolysers, demand, infrastructure, public funding and national implementation of EU hydrogen rules; and

• explores how industrial policy choices will shape the future of hydrogen in Europe.

Why join?

In this webinar, ACER will:

• present the main findings of its 2026 European hydrogen markets Monitoring Report; and

• discuss with stakeholders:

  • the future role and scale of hydrogen-consuming industries in the EU, including the balance between domestic production and imports;

  • how hydrogen networks, storage and import terminals can develop in line with realistic demand.
