As of 2023-2024, Ukraine’s energy mix is dominated by nuclear power (roughly 50-55% of electricity generation), followed by significant contributions from coal, hydropower, and increasing, yet vulnerable, renewable sources.

Ukraine is strategically positioned to become a major supplier of green hydrogen to the European Union, leveraging its vast renewable energy potential and existing pipeline infrastructure. Despite the ongoing war, the country is advancing projects and regulatory frameworks to integrate into the European hydrogen economy.

Ukraine has a technical potential to produce up to 44.96 million tons of renewable hydrogen annually. Under the European Green Deal, Ukraine is a priority partner for the “2×40 GW” initiative, which envisions 10 GW of electrolysis capacity in Ukraine by 2030. A fully developed domestic hydrogen economy could generate up to $22 billion in annual revenue and create over 100,000 jobs.

As of February 2026, there’s no information indicating that Ukraine is producing green hydrogen from electrolysis of seawater.
