The Walloon Region in Belgium has forged a partnership with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to enhance the hydrogen industry. The agreement aims to support hydrogen projects in Wallonia by providing financing, guidance, and advice. The EIB, which typically covers up to 50% of project costs through loans, seeks to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon economy. This collaboration strengthens the ties between the EIB and Wallonia, emphasizing the importance of hydrogen in the energy transition and climate policy. Wallonia's strategic hydrogen plan includes projects like Columbus and John Cockerill, which have already received substantial support and are set to position the region prominently in the hydrogen sector. The E-WallonHY project focuses on developing a green hydrogen economy, covering production, storage, transport, and utilization in promising applications. The partnership between Wallonia and the EIB will lead to the creation of 250 jobs in the hydrogen and decarbonisation sector, along with knowledge transfer with universities and research centers. The agreement outlines plans for information exchange, market needs assessment, technical assistance provision, exploration of financing structures, and support for a low-carbon future in Wallonia. This collaboration marks a significant step in advancing the hydrogen industry and transitioning to a more sustainable economy in the region.
