Response to European Partnership for Clean Hydrogen

31 Jul 2019

We clearly favor an institutionalised European Partnership based on Article 187 TFEU (option 2) which has shown its effectiveness for the FCH-JU, especially for the coordination of the program and alignment of priorities between the various stakeholders. We are convinced that building on the FCH-JU is the most effective way to ensure a continuation of the activities supporting the emergence of strong hydrogen and fuel cell industry in Europe. We recommend the European Partnership for Clean Hydrogen to focus on 'REAL ZERO EMISSION HYDROGEN SOLUTIONS' from cradle-to-grave (supported by LCA). Concerning the production of 'Clean Hydrogen', the Partnership should clearly focus its activities on renewable hydrogen based on water electrolysis of renewable power (wind and solar) as this way of producing hydrogen is fully in line with the Paris Agreement and EU commitments to fight against Climate Change but also because it helps the integration of additional renewable power in the EU energy system which will be critical for the further electrification of the transport, heating and industrial sectors.
