In a significant move, Hydrogen Europe has endorsed the Hydrogen Declaration of the COP29 Presidency, highlighting the aim to foster a global market for clean hydrogen and its derivatives. This declaration, supported by various UN bodies, focuses on addressing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing global climate ambitions through the collective progress on hydrogen initiatives. Building upon the commitments made at COP28, the COP29 Hydrogen Declaration seeks to accelerate the transition towards low-carbon hydrogen production, phase-out of fossil fuels, and the substantial increase of renewable energy capacity by 2030. The declaration outlines key actions to scale up hydrogen, including encouraging demand creation, establishing standards and certification frameworks, enhancing finance mechanisms, promoting capacity building, facilitating trade, supporting research and development, and ensuring sustainability practices. Countries are urged to incorporate hydrogen into their national climate and energy strategies and monitor the progress at COP30. The Hydrogen Council, led by Ivana Jemelkova, has shown support for the COP29 Hydrogen Declaration, emphasizing the critical role of hydrogen in the energy transition. The council's open letter underscores the necessity for bold actions to integrate hydrogen into the Nationally Determined Contributions by 2025 and accelerate the deployment of clean hydrogen and its derivatives by the end of this decade. Industry partners, including Hydrogen Europe, have come together to back this initiative, recognizing the rapid growth of hydrogen investments and projects worldwide. Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe, praises the COP29 Hydrogen Declaration as a crucial step in acknowledging the rising significance of hydrogen in global climate dialogues. The declaration highlights the pressing need for cost-effective means to transport and store renewable energy following the previous commitment to triple renewable capacity. Hydrogen Europe commits to collaborating with its extensive network to boost renewable and low-carbon hydrogen production and utilization, aligning with the goals set forth by the COP29 Presidency. The industry's joint efforts, as showcased through the COP29 Hydrogen Declaration and the support from key organizations like Hydrogen Europe and the Hydrogen Council, reflect a positive momentum towards leveraging hydrogen as a fundamental tool in achieving sustainable energy transition and mitigating climate change.
