According to the European Commission, renewable and low-carbon hydrogen is a key building block towards a climate-neutral and zero-pollution economy in 2050, by replacing most fossil fuels and feedstock. It can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions ahead of 2030 and to a green recovery of the EU economy.

Renewable and low-carbon hydrogen also offers a unique opportunity for EU research and innovation, maintaining and expanding Europe’s technological leadership in these technologies, and creating economic growth and jobs across the full value chain and across the Union. It also offers a chance to manufacture and deploy clean energy technology here in the EU.
