Hydrogen’s roll-out needs experienced political leadership that takes responsibility for a fast growing and vibrant renewable energy system, while remaining fully aware of the need for a multifaceted approach to the energy transition. Teresa Ribera is that kind of leader.

The European Commission has highlighted the need to expand hydrogen as one of the building blocks to reach 2040 greenhouse gases (GHG) reduction objectives.

The decarbonisation of industrial processes and feedstocks, and a massive roll out of distributed and remote Variable Renewable Energy Sources (VRES) will require hydrogen to satisfy the need for clean gas, but also to complement electrification and accelerate VRES integration in the system.
