How energy traders can benefit from Europe’s emerging hydrogen market
Development of liquid markets will require sufficient marketable hydrogen volumes as well as free access to pipelines, terminals and storages
Demand for hydrogen in Europe is expected to grow significantly until 2050. This providing opportunities for energy traders. Why? Because the hydrogen value chain involves the transformation and processing of tradable commodities; the evolving hydrogen market provides “cross-commodity” trading opportunities. In light of this, trading companies need to act today to build up the know-how and relationships required to quickly enter the market once trading opportunities emerge. Why hydrogen trading will become a necessity Because supply and demand cannot be balanced in most parts of Europe, hydrogen trading is a necessity. In particular, sufficient volumes of green hydrogen can only be supplied
