Around twenty electrolyser manufacturers have sent her a letter calling for greater support for production in Europe.
The letter is signed by prominent players such as McPhy, John Cockerill, Thyssenkrupp Nucera and Siemens Energy. Following the Green Deal, they are calling for a genuine industrial plan to produce in Europe. And this is a matter of urgency, because while two-thirds of electrolyser producers are located in Europe, they are facing the devouring ambitions of China, whose market share has risen to 40% (against 10% in 2023). In addition, another competitor is emerging: India.
The European Commission is therefore being asked to ensure that jobs remain in Europe. And that means providing more resources.
