A joint statement from 16 European associations involved in hydrogen market development calls for a thorough revision of European hydrogen policy. The statement emphasizes the need for a more pragmatic and technology-neutral approach to enhance cost-competitive hydrogen production. The associations urge the European Commission to swiftly assess the impact of current criteria on production costs, GHG emission savings, and the energy system. They highlight the necessity for rapid action to address identified challenges. Additionally, the adoption of a Delegated Regulation on Low Carbon Fuels in a fair manner is proposed. Financial incentives to reduce hydrogen costs, revision of the European Hydrogen Strategy for long-term planning security, and accelerated infrastructure development are key recommendations. The associations advocate for an EU-level action plan for hydrogen grids similar to that for electricity grids, aiming to streamline permitting processes. Furthermore, they stress the importance of creating markets for products from renewable fuels and strengthening European incentives on the demand-side. In a bid to expand the global hydrogen market, the statement calls for enhancing the EU's role through the development of the international aspect of the EU Hydrogen Bank. The European Commission is urged to implement these recommendations through upcoming initiatives like the Clean Industrial Deal and the Action Plan for Affordable Energy. The associations underscore the significance of these changes in shaping a sustainable and competitive hydrogen market in Europe.
