EU’s hydrogen strategy a good start but key problems sidestepped
Europe’s hydrogen strategy mostly points in the right direction by identifying renewable hydrogen as a key energy vector and necessary storage solution for delivering a zero-carbon EU, but it side-steps several key problems that go to the core of what will make green hydrogen a timely success, write Mike Parr and Simon Minett.
The strategy proposed by the Commission is, for the most part, a good first step. It will accelerate the development of a pan-European hydrogen system, which, together with vastly more renewables, energy efficiency and circular economy measures will decarbonise the EU.
However, for this to happen in a timely fashion, the major points raised in this article need to be both recognised and acted upon by the Commission and member states.
