The European Commission, under Ursula von der Leyen, is committed to the European Green Deal and driving a growth strategy for stable jobs and a strong industrial base. Recent geopolitical events and initiatives like the Net-Zero Industry Act have propelled Europe towards a more sustainable future, with hydrogen playing a pivotal role. Despite progress in clean tech, challenges like international competitiveness persist. To tackle this, Europe must address regulatory hurdles, enhance supply chains, and provide financial support through mechanisms like the Hydrogen Bank. The focus is to ensure Europe's competitiveness in the global hydrogen industry while transitioning to net-zero emissions. The need for streamlined procedures to access incentives and funding, coupled with strategic autonomy considerations, are highlighted to accelerate the growth of the hydrogen economy in Europe. By overcoming obstacles and prioritizing support for clean technologies, Europe aims to lead in clean hydrogen production and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future for all.
