A new declaration signed on 1st March sees the European Commission, industry, scientific community and regions commit to stepping up efforts in setting up hydrogen valleys around the EU.
Hydrogen valleys are clusters where hydrogen production, transportation and applications are connected in one geographical area. The new joint declaration calls for sustainable investment, knowledge sharing and development of skills to help build up these regional hydrogen networks.
The EU hopes to double the number of these valleys by 2025 as part of its ambition to have a world-leading renewable hydrogen economy. The current goal is to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen in the EU each year by 2030, making the green version of the gas a key part of EU’s energy mix.
