This chapter analyses the regulatory, policy, and infrastructural framework supporting hydrogen deployment within the European Union. It reviews major EU initiatives - including the Hydrogen Strategy, Fit for 55, REPowerEU, and funding mechanisms - designed to scale up renewable and low-carbon hydrogen production and demand. Particular attention is given to market creation, investment needs, and governance challenges across Member States with diverse energy systems. The chapter also discusses plans for a pan-European hydrogen network, such as the European Hydrogen Backbone, emphasising cross-border infrastructure as a cornerstone for system integration and long-term decarbonisation.
