The European Commission is making strides in boosting the EU's clean energy transition by investing €720 million in the hydrogen sector. The State of the Energy Union Report 2024 emphasizes progress in renewable energy adoption, with wind power surpassing gas as the EU's second-largest electricity source. The report also addresses challenges, including a significant €19 billion trade deficit in lithium-ion batteries and trade imbalances in the solar PV industry. Despite growth in net-zero technologies like heat pumps and fuel cells, the EU faces competition in global markets. The focus is now on implementing new legislation to address energy prices and analyzing National Energy and Climate Plans for achieving 2030 goals. The EU aims to support vulnerable households and businesses through the Social Climate Fund and urges Member States to submit their plans promptly for a comprehensive assessment.
