Clean Hydrogen Partnership vital to EU climate goals

Successor body to FCH JU will see increased investment and more coordination with other bodies in pursuit of hydrogen strategy

The EU’s new Clean Hydrogen Partnership will be vital to reach a targeted hydrogen production cost of €1.8/kg ($2/kg), according to the body’s chair. That goal was set by the EU last year as part of its hydrogen strategy, which also aims to install 6GW of electrolyser capacity by 2024 and 40GW by 2030, as well as to produce 10mn t of green hydrogen by the latter date.
