Positioning Hydrogen at the Core of Europe’s Integrated Energy System
Hydrogen (H₂) is steadily emerging as a central enabler of Europe’s clean energy transition. It is increasingly recognized as a systemic integration vector across multiple energy domains, a key driver of industrial decarbonization, an energy carrier and storage medium, as well as a feedstock for industry and supporting CO₂ utilization pathways. Achieving true system integration, […]
Europe’s Hydrogen Push Faces Gaps in Integration and Funding Alignment
Hydrogen R&I in Europe has expanded significantly, however, further efforts are required to strengthen system integration, align national and EU funding pathways, and support regions lagging behind The report Mapping of R&I projects on hydrogen and fuel cells at EU level describes initial work on creating an overview of hydrogen-related research and innovation (R&I) activities […]
