EU must not dilute hydrogen network deployment
Targets on deployment as set by the European Parliament are vital to the rollout of hydrogen trucks, industry bodies say
Industry bodies Hydrogen Europe and the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (Acea) have expressed concerns over the state of discussions on the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (Afir). The EU is legislating on the issue in the Afir proposal as part of its ‘Fit for 55’ package. Trialogue talks between the European Commission, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament are underway and will be concluded by next week. The initial proposal from the European Commission set a target for the Trans-European Transport Network (Ten-T) to have a refuelling station every 150km for compressed hydrogen and every 450km for the liquefied form of the fuel. 2t/d – Volum
