In the study “Hydrogen cluster Belgium, the Netherlands, and North-Western Germany – A projection and analysis of demand and production until 2030”, EWI analyzes how potential local imbalances in the supply of low-carbon hydrogen of the potential hydrogen cluster Belgium, the Netherlands, and North-Western Germany might be addressed. Depending on how much demand in industry and transport will increase, there could be a supply gap of up to 11 TWh per year in this cluster in 2030 from today’s perspective.
The hydrogen production volumes in the study are calculated using an EWI database on existing, under construction and planned projects. The location of potential demand of low-carbon hydrogen are identified in a bottom-up analysis.
