Europe Hydrogen Report

Designed to cater to the diverse data needs of the green hydrogen industry in Europe.

The green hydrogen market is poised for significant growth, expanding from under 1 million tons per year now to hundreds of millions of tons per year by 2050

To facilitate this expansion and support greenhouse gas reduction efforts, it is crucial to have a reliable hydrogen price benchmark that aligns with the UK Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard and the EU Delegated Acts on Renewable Hydrogen. The OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report is an information service designed specifically for the green hydrogen industry in Europe. It offers three essential reports:

  • Price Report: Provides detailed pricing intelligence to anticipate the future fully-traded hydrogen market.
  • Projects and Policies Tracker: Compiles comprehensive data on new project and policy announcements in the Northwest European hydrogen sector in a user-friendly format.
  • Quarterly Executive Summary: Offers a concise overview of the Hydrogen Cost Price Index trends each quarter, serving as a valuable snapshot of the market for busy executives.

Sign up to receive copies of the OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report for free. Receive an Excel report in your inbox on the first Tuesday of every month (Price Report and Projects & Policy Tracker) and a PDF report on the second Tuesday of each quarter (Quarterly Executive Summary).

Benefits

  • Compare and track hydrogen production costs across multiple production pathways, allowing you to monitor the cost of high-carbon, low-carbon, and zero-carbon hydrogen over time.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest project and policy announcements in the Northwest European hydrogen space
  • Understand big-picture developments in the hydrogen market with a  concise overview of the quarter’s price, policy and project trends. 
  • Publishing Schedule: The Price Report and the Projects & Policy Tracker report of the OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report are published monthly on the first Tuesday of the month. The Quarterly Executive Summary is published on the second Tuesday of the quarter.
  • Industry Cost Alignment: The index in the OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report aligns with industry cost assumptions by incorporating data from the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and European trade body Hydrogen Europe. This ensures that the underlying assumptions are based on a deep understanding of UK and European hydrogen production.
  • Regulatory Framework Alignment: The index takes into account the regulatory frameworks of the UK and EU for low and zero-carbon hydrogen. It incorporates factors such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), renewables auction pricing, carbon capture, and market electricity and natural gas prices, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
  • Market-Based Approach: Our index provides a market-based solution by linking hydrogen to commodity markets, even before the establishment of a dedicated hydrogen commodity market. It utilizes market prices for PPAs, carbon, electricity, and natural gas, enabling accurate pricing.
  • Comprehensive Information Service: The index is an integral part of the OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report, which includes three reports in total. By accessing the report, industry players not only benefit from the index but also stay informed about the rapidly evolving landscape of Northwest European hydrogen projects and policies.

Key Pricing Features

  • Offers low-carbon and zero-carbon hydrogen prices that comply with UK and EU regulations.
  • Utilizes real-time data from Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), renewables auction pricing, carbon capture, and market electricity prices to calculate the prices of low and zero carbon hydrogen.
  • Facilitates comparisons between prices of low and zero carbon hydrogen and traditional high-carbon hydrogen.
  • Assesses prices for different hydrogen production technologies, including electrolyser (Alkaline, PEM, SOE) and reformer (SMR, ATR) technologies.
  • Considers both the full cost and marginal cost of production when determining prices.
  • Evaluates prices in the key emerging European hydrogen markets, specifically the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Germany.
  • Publishes price assessments as part of the OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report, consisting of three reports that keep industry players informed about the rapidly evolving Northwest European hydrogen project and policy landscape.
