Hydrogen demand in the European Union is forecast to grow to 2,250 terawatt hours, assuming a scenario which will see the world only partly electrified and continuing to depend on material energy carriers. Under scenario A, assuming a fully electrified world, hydrogen demand in the EU is expected to amount to some 800 terawatt hours.
Forecast hydrogen demand and electrolysis capacity in the European Union in 2030 and 2050
* Scenario A assumes a largely electrified world and electrification of all sectors, with a relatively small share of material energy carriers used.
** Scenario B, meanwhile, expects material energy carriers to continue playing a role in covering energy demand, although fossil fuel shares will be eclipsed by renewables.
