• Netherlands Hydrogen Market Segments: Technology and Distribution

The country's hydrogen sector encompasses the entire national ecosystem and emerging industry of developing hydrogen especially renewable as an energy vector to decarbonise major industries such as transport, heavy industry and electricity generation. This requires developing methods of producing, storing, transporting and using hydrogen. With the strategic port location, vast amounts of port infrastructure, and available gas infrastructure in place already, the Netherlands is establishing itself as a hydrogen hub within Northwestern Europe to enable both domestic consumption and pathways to support the larger European energy transition through importing and exporting hydrogen.

The hydrogen in Netherlands are backed by government support, including the Dutch National Hydrogen Strategy, supported by the Climate Fund and other policy frameworks, which aims to scale up hydrogen production and infrastructure while integrating hydrogen into the national energy system. The allocation of approximately €9 billion by the Dutch government to support green hydrogen projects and infrastructure development as part of its national strategy, significantly boosting investment in production capacity and enabling technologies while stimulating economic growth and job creation.

As technology advances, Netherlands’s hydrogen providers are now using electrolysis technology and other new production technologies intended to increase efficiency and decrease costs and industry partners - including overseas energy companies who will build large-GW-scale electrophoresis machines to use to create hydrogen as there are also virtually no large-scale hydrogen supply-capacity expansion efforts underway to expand supply capacity.  The development of advanced hydrogen storage, transport solutions and their integration into renewable energy systems continues to bolster the foundation of our technology for industry in Netherlands.

Market Dynamics of the Netherlands Hydrogen Market:

The Netherlands hydrogen market is driven by the urgent need to decarbonise sectors such as petrochemicals, heavy transport, and industry, national and European climate goals that prioritise hydrogen as a clean energy vector, the country’s geographical position, well established infrastructure to serve as a hydrogen gateway, increased additional investments and partnerships,  and advances in technology for hydrogen production.

The Netherlands hydrogen market is restrained by the high cost of hydrogen production, infrastructure deployment, challenges in establishing a fully integrated transport and storage network, technical uncertainties, market readiness issues, and the need for continued policy clarity and economic incentives.

The future of Netherlands hydrogen market is bright and promising, with versatile opportunities emerging from the potential exists to create significant export and import markets through the major ports while simultaneously establishing an international market for hydrogen technology through foreign investment and developing new economic value chains. With the right policy framework, increased capacity for renewable energy, and cooperation from other countries, the hydrogen market will be positioned to help meet wider European decarbonisation objectives and create the foundation for a significant clean energy industry.

Market Segmentation

The Netherlands Hydrogen Market share is classified into technology and distribution.

By Technology:

The Netherlands hydrogen market is divided by technology into alkaline electrolyzers, proton exchange membrane electrolyzers, solid oxide electrolyzers, and others. Among these, the alkaline electrolyzers segment held the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is predicted to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. Proven maturity, low capital costs, superior scalability for large scale industrial applications, low maintainance required, and favours reliability and economic viability all contribute to the alkaline electrolyzers segment's largest share and higher spending on hydrogen when compared to other technology.

By Distribution:

The Netherlands hydrogen market is divided by distribution into pipeline, shipping & liquid hydrogen, compressed hydrogen, and others. Among these, the pipeline segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The ammonia segment dominates because of providing cost effective and efficient method for large scale transportation, extensive natural gas infrastructure, and allows high volume and continuous transport between industrial clusters and neighbouring countries.
