Industrial decarbonisation strategies in the Netherlands and Europe often rely on a substantial amount of green hydrogen being imported from developing countries with higher availability of renewable energy, while assuming that existing industrial production locations and trade patterns would remain largely unchanged. 

However, the higher costs and emissions associated with the long-distance transport of electricity and green hydrogen may incentivize the relocation of energy-intensive industries closer to renewable energy sources. This 鈥済reen relocation鈥� can offer a more cost-effective solution for global decarbonization, but would affect regional economic structures and global trade patterns.

Strategic approaches may be needed in the Netherlands and Europe to achieve long-term resilience and competitiveness in a climate-neutral world.
