The European Commission has unveiled the Clean Industrial Deal (CID) plan, highlighting the importance of lead markets and promoting domestic clean technology manufacturing, with a specific focus on renewable and low-carbon hydrogen technologies. The plan aims to support industry efforts in reaching 2030 climate targets through demand-side measures and project incentives for decarbonization. Jorgo Chatzimarkakis from Hydrogen Europe emphasized the need to translate words into actions to meet climate goals. The Affordable Energy Action Plan, part of CID, seeks to reduce energy costs for EU citizens by incentivizing flexibility, benefiting green hydrogen production. However, concerns have been raised about the lack of a sector-integrated approach in energy policies and the absence of a technology-neutral policy. Hydrogen Europe expressed disappointment with the failure to adopt a holistic energy sector approach and the delay in revising the RFNBO Delegated Act, hindering renewable hydrogen progress. Lawmakers are urged to collaborate swiftly to implement these actions while recognizing hydrogen's vital role in decarbonization efforts.
