Joint Statement: Reality Check for European Hydrogen Policy to Adjust the Course
The 17 co-signatories of this joint statement, representing the entire hydrogen value chain, reaffirm their commitment to supporting the EU’s decarbonization efforts and building a competitive hydrogen market. While the European Green Deal has established a framework for hydrogen production, major challenges—such as technology preference, high costs, infrastructure gaps, and regulatory barriers—make the 2030 targets almost impossible to be reached.
The signatories call for urgent political action, adopting a technology-neutral approach, providing financial incentives for all production pathways , streamlining and de-risking infrastructure development, accompanied by a clear hydrogen import strategy. The open collaboration with policymakers and stakeholders is key to ensure a robust, sustainable hydrogen market in the EU.
