Momentum is building for the development of a low carbon hydrogen economy in Europe, driven by decarbonisation and energy security considerations.

As ventures proliferate, developers and investors are increasingly looking to commit substantial capital in the context of significant regulatory flux.

This Hydrogen Guide considers the regulatory landscape across the hydrogen value chain in seven key jurisdictions:

  • France
  • Germany
  • Italy
  • The Netherlands
  • Portugal
  • Spain
  • The United Kingdom

The Hydrogen Guide is produced jointly by our Best Friends firms, consisting of BonelliErede, Bredin Prat, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Hengeler Mueller, Slaughter and May and Uría Menéndez.

It aims to assist developers, investors and other market participants in low carbon hydrogen to navigate the changing regulatory frameworks for hydrogen in Europe.
