Empowering Europe's Industrial Revamp: The Electrolyser Partnership's Vision for Clean Hydrogen
Key Ideas
  • Clean hydrogen is seen as pivotal for Europe's industrial transformation, aligning decarbonisation with economic prosperity.
  • Challenges such as regulatory ambiguity and slow infrastructure development pose barriers to hydrogen adoption.
  • The Electrolyser Partnership urges policymakers to enhance demand, streamline legislation, ensure a level playing field, and provide funding support.
  • The partnership seeks a decisive role of the Clean Industrial Deal in promoting Europe's hydrogen leadership for a sustainable industry.
The Electrolyser Partnership, part of the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, has released a paper outlining its perspective on the Clean Industrial Deal, a strategic framework for revitalizing European industrial policy in line with climate objectives. Central to this vision is the significant role of clean hydrogen in facilitating both decarbonisation and economic advancement within the continent's industries. By expanding hydrogen production and its associated products like steel and e-fuels, Europe stands to fortify its supply chains, foster innovation, stimulate job growth, and bolster economic progress. However, the partnership highlights several impediments hindering the widespread adoption of hydrogen, including regulatory uncertainties, delays in target implementation, high electricity costs, sluggish infrastructure development, and international competitiveness challenges. To address these issues, the Electrolyser Partnership calls for decisive actions from policymakers, emphasizing the need to stimulate demand for hydrogen, simplify legislation, ensure a level playing field, and enhance financial support mechanisms. Ultimately, the partnership urges the Executive Vice Presidents to leverage the Clean Industrial Deal to empower Europe's hydrogen sector, enabling the creation of a competitive, resilient, and environmentally friendly industrial landscape. Through these concerted efforts, the Electrolyser Partnership envisions a future where Europe leads the way in sustainable hydrogen technologies and achieves its ambitious climate targets.
