The European Commission acknowledges that only 5% of targeted electrolysers were deployed by 2025 and is revising its green hydrogen strategy after original 2022 targets widely missed. This signals a fundamental reset of EU hydrogen policy and infrastructure expectations.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're selling electrolysers, grid upgrades, or balance-of-plant kit to European hydrogen projects, the EU's own roadmap just collapsed. Renegotiate the timeline with every customer now, because the Commission's subsidy rules will change around them in the next 12 months.
