BACKGROUND

Hydrogen is a key element in energy transition due to its great potential to help decarbonise the economy and reduce fossil fuel imports, enabling a higher penetration of renewable energy into the energy mix and a large contribution to circular economy.

Thanks to the potential applications of hydrogen in basic sectors such as energy, industry and transport, it will become a key element in the global economy over the next few decades, as countries work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as per the Paris Agreement, in line with the EU’s pledges to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
