Analyst Insight: Incentive Schemes for Green Hydrogen
Hydrogen Electrolyzer Tracker Insights
Outside of a few niche applications, green hydrogen is currently unable to compete with grey hydrogen and fossil fuels on a cost basis. This picture is expected to alter over the long-term as technology improvements, reductions in renewable energy input costs, innovations in project design, and upscaling of electrolyzer manufacturing help to drive down production costs. However, government support will be key to bridging the cost gap between green hydrogen and competing fuels as the industry matures.
Governments in North America and Europe have introduced a range of incentive schemes for hydrogen projects, backed by significant levels of public funding. Most notably, these include generous production tax credits introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act in the United States, the Hydrogen Production Business Model in the UK, and the European Hydrogen Bank in the European Union.
This fifth edition of the Guidehouse Insights Hydrogen Electrolyzer Tracker Analyst Insight summarizes key findings from the tracker and provides an overview of incentive schemes in North America and Europe.
