Hydrogen use in the European Union is set to rise considerably in accordance with the RePowerEU plan. Under this scheme meant to end the EU's reliance on Russian fossil fuels by 2030, the EU is expected to consume around 20 million metric tons of hydrogen in 2030. This is in comparison to a consumption of roughly seven million metric tons proposed under the European Commission's Fit for 55 plan, which predates RePowerEU.
