Powering the Transition: Offshore Wind Meets Green Hydrogen

The Netherlands is entering the toughest phase of the energy transition—moving from cleaning up electricity to replacing fossil molecules with green electrons and renewable molecules like hydrogen.

Offshore wind is ready to scale, but without matching demand, its business case is under pressure. Subsidies alone won’t solve the gap, especially with EU restrictions on using subsidized power for green hydrogen.

Green hydrogen is the key opportunity—with projects ready to launch, strong policy signals and lower grid tariffs could unlock demand, cut emissions, and position the Netherlands as a clean energy hub.
