In 2025, several European companies, including Airbus and ArcelorMittal, suspended green hydrogen projects, citing technology and funding issues. Airbus halted its ZEROe program, while ArcelorMittal canceled plans in Germany due to public funding reductions.

Alstom also suspended hydrogen train production after technical failures. The EU's investment of €23 billion for hydrogen initiatives has raised doubts, as global hydrogen output is largely fossil-based.

Currently, green hydrogen makes up less than 0.1% of production, with costs remaining four times higher than fossil fuels. Experts argue that without market incentives, achieving EU targets for renewable hydrogen use in industry is unlikely.
