The 17 co-signatories of this joint statement represent technology providers, project developers, producers, infrastructure operators, market stakeholders and users active across the entire hydrogen value chain who are determined to support EU’s decarbonisation efforts.
Hydrogen is, indeed, a crucial tool to achieve EU’s net-zero target, and the co-signatories are committed to contributing to the development of a strong and competitive market in the EU.
Since 2020, the European Green Deal has set the framework to produce renewable hydrogen and derived fuels (RFNBOs), as well as low-carbon fuels. For the first time, hydrogen strategies, binding targets for different sectors, funding schemes and production criteria have been defined.
In this regard, the EU RFNBO production, infrastructure and consumption sectors have been facing significant challenges that undermine the achievement of the 2030 hydrogen production and consumption targets.
This Joint Statement aims at drawing political attention to the urgent need for a reality check and for both short-term and longer-term structural actions to re-address the course of action.
