In a recent statement, Laurent Donceel, the director of Hydrogen Europe, highlighted the importance of making the EU's Emissions Trading System's indirect cost compensation permanent. This change, as suggested by Donceel, could lead to a more competitive landscape for clean hydrogen production, particularly in energy-intensive industries. By ensuring stable compensation, companies involved in clean hydrogen production would have a better economic outlook, potentially driving further investments in this sector. Additionally, the enhanced competitiveness could pave the way for more sustainable practices and reduced emissions in these industries. Aligning with the EU's commitment to combating climate change, promoting clean hydrogen production is seen as a crucial step towards a greener future. The permanence of this compensation mechanism could significantly contribute to the EU's goals of fostering a more environmentally friendly and sustainable industrial sector.
