- European natural‑gas market: prices jumped about 75% after the war, eroding the cost advantage of fossil‑based hydrogen.
- EU green‑hydrogen roadmap: earlier delays blamed on market and policy now look less severe as high gas costs make electrolytic hydrogen more competitive.
- Andalusia regional government: warns €6.2 bn of green‑hydrogen projects are at risk without clear regulatory guidance, underscoring policy bottlenecks.
- Industry players: some firms accelerate electrolyser roll‑outs, while others postpone or cancel fossil‑hydrogen plants amid the price shock.
Why it matters: Rising gas prices could fast‑track Europe’s clean‑energy shift, but policy gaps risk squandering billions.
