Ukraine war to lift green hydrogen demand in Europe – DNV
New modelling implies acceleration in demand and price reductions as policymakers ramp up support, risk management company says
European policy support for green hydrogen will increase in the wake of the war in Ukraine, accelerating both demand and the decline in prices, according to risk management company DNV.
