Emerging Green Hydrogen Economy: Impact on the Finished Lubricants Market in Europe

Base Year: 2020
Published Q1, 2021
Regional Coverage: Europe

The European Union’s (EU) plans for post-pandemic economic recovery are based on a philosophy  of “rebuild better and greener.” The goal is to achieve a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. Hydrogen is seen as a prime decarbonization route, where green hydrogen will be generated by renewable sources of energy. The transition to a hydrogen economy has the potential to reduce the consumption of finished lubricants in sectors such as truck transportation. Conversely, the emergence of green hydrogen poses an opportunity to trigger technological innovation and create demand for customized lubricants formulations.
