The OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report is designed to cater to the diverse data needs of the green hydrogen market in Europe. With the green hydrogen market poised for significant growth, expanding from under 1 million tons per year to hundreds of millions of tons per year by 2050, it is crucial to have a reliable hydrogen market price benchmark. This benchmark aligns with the UK Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard and the EU Delegated Acts on Renewable Hydrogen. The OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report is an information service designed specifically for the green hydrogen industry in Europe, offering two essential reports: a Price Report providing detailed hydrogen pricing intelligence and a Projects and Policies Tracker compiling comprehensive data on new project and policy announcements in the Northwest European hydrogen market.

Benefits

• Compare and track hydrogen production costs across multiple production pathways, allowing you to monitor the cost of high-carbon, low-carbon, and zero-carbon hydrogen over time.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest project and policy announcements in the Northwest European hydrogen space
• Understand big-picture developments in the hydrogen market with a concise overview of the quarter’s price, policy and project trends. 
• Publishing Schedule: The Price Report and the Projects & Policy Tracker report of the OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report are published monthly on the first Tuesday of the month. 
• Industry Cost Alignment: The index in the OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report aligns with industry cost assumptions by incorporating data from the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and European trade body Hydrogen Europe. This ensures that the underlying assumptions are based on a deep understanding of UK and European hydrogen production.
• Regulatory Framework Alignment: The index takes into account the regulatory frameworks of the UK and EU for low and zero-carbon hydrogen. It incorporates factors such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), renewables auction pricing, carbon capture, and market electricity and natural gas prices, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
• Market-Based Approach: Our index provides a market-based solution by linking hydrogen to commodity markets, even before the establishment of a dedicated hydrogen commodity market. It utilizes market prices for PPAs, carbon, electricity, and natural gas, enabling accurate pricing.
• Comprehensive Information Service: The index is an integral part of the OPIS Europe Hydrogen Report, which includes three reports in total. By accessing the report, industry players not only benefit from the index but also stay informed about the rapidly evolving landscape of Northwest European hydrogen projects and policies.
