EU Policies for Advancing Green Hydrogen

The European Union's strategy for green hydrogen is pivotal in its energy transition and climate neutrality goals. Green hydrogen, central to the European Green Deal, aims to decarbonize sectors like heavy industry and transportation. Key initiatives include the European Hydrogen Strategy, which focuses on installing 40 GW of hydrogen electrolyzers by 2030 and producing 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen in the EU. The 'Fit for 55' package revises policies to cut 55% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, promoting green hydrogen use. The Clean Hydrogen Alliance, funding from mechanisms like Horizon Europe, and infrastructure development underpin these efforts. The EU is also developing a regulatory framework for green hydrogen certification and forging international partnerships for a diversified hydrogen supply. Addressing challenges like high production costs, the EU's multifaceted policy framework aims to incorporate green hydrogen into its energy system, driving economic growth and innovation in the energy sector.
