Hydrogen Europe’s latest publication
The formal adoption of the European Green Deal was a crucial step in the creation of a more sustainable Europe, setting out the roadmap for the EU to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. However, decarbonising Europe’s industry while remaining globally competitive is no small task. High energy costs, aggressive global competition for clean technology industrial leadership, overly complex legislation slowing down investment decisions are not only challenging Europe’s climate neutrality ambitions, but also its industrial capacity and economic security aspirations.
Supporting Europe’s hydrogen ecosystem is a no-regret policy: it provides the necessary flexibility to our renewables, helps decarbonise energy, transport and industrial sectors still relying on fossil fuels whilst reducing strategic dependencies.
The key issues for achieving a large-scale deployment of an effective, sustainable and resilient hydrogen market revolve around 6 pillars:
A Clean Industrial Deal addressing market failures, simplifying regulations, and catalysing private sector investment is urgently needed. The European hydrogen ecosystem is needed to reach both the objectives of the energy transition and those of the Pact for European Competitiveness to ensure sustainable, prosperous, competitive, and resilient of European economies.
