The value of the hydrogen sector in Europe today is estimated to be €2 billion. By 2030 this is expected to grow to become a staggering €140 billion. That is a compound annual growth rate in excess of 50%. It is speculated that 140,000 jobs will also be created along the way. The hydrogen sector is going to play a critical role in the energy transition and remains at the forefront of global investment.
