Multi-year funding for hydrogen as part of the Climate Package 2026

As part of its multi-year hydrogen program through 2030, the government has allocated over EUR 9.5 billion across key areas. Major investments include EUR 3 billion for research, EUR 2.5 billion for the hydrogen backbone, and EUR 2.1 billion for large-scale onshore electrolysis (500–1000 MW). Additional funding supports offshore electrolysis (EUR 1.19 billion), IPCEI projects (EUR 1.59 billion total for Hy2Use, Hy2Infra, and Hy2Move), demand-side subsidies (EUR 662 million), import infrastructure (EUR 500 million), and H2Global (EUR 300 million). Smaller allocations target inland shipping (EUR 30.5 million) and pilot-scale onshore electrolysis (EUR 250 million). This comprehensive funding strategy aims to scale hydrogen production, infrastructure, and market uptake across sectors.
