The European Commission has announced the allocation of €992m to 15 large-scale renewable hydrogen projects across the European Economic Area.
These projects, spanning five countries, are set to produce nearly 2.2 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen over the next decade – enough to prevent more than 15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
This strategic move is part of the EU’s broader push to cut its reliance on fossil fuels and decarbonise critical sectors such as transportation, chemicals, ammonia, and methanol production.
Why expanding renewable hydrogen capacity matters
As Europe confronts the dual challenges of climate change and energy insecurity, expanding renewable hydrogen production is no longer optional – it’s essential.
Hydrogen made from renewable electricity (like solar or wind) emits no CO₂ when used, making it an ideal substitute for fossil fuels in sectors that are tough to electrify, such as…
