Some studies estimate that the price of hydrogen could drop as low as 2 Euro/kg. The updated Hydrogen Strategy emphasizes the importance of the production and import of hydrogen using electrolysis from renewable sources and also supports the production of low-carbon hydrogen, which will have significant potential in the Czech Republic.
In July 2024, the Czech Government approved the new Hydrogen Strategy of the Czech Republic. The strategy recognises that, even in industries that already use hydrogen, without sufficient state support the production and consumption of renewable hydrogen is unlikely to increase.
In 2023, the first commercial green hydrogen electrolyser in the Czech Republic was put into operation in Napajedla (Zlín region) by renewable energy developer Solar Global a.s. and is intended to be used primarily for energy storage. Other notable projects to produce green hydrogen in the Czech Republic planned for the next few years include:
New Technology (after 2045): This phase will use newly developed technologies to produce renewable and low-carbon hydrogen in the Czech Republic. Electrolysis Capacity: Install at least 400 MWe of electrolyser capacity by 2030, focusing on 20,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen to be produced each year.
