The EU is committed to becoming climate neutral by 2050, meaning that all sectors that emit greenhouse gases are called on to decarbonise. The Commission saw renewable hydrogen as one way to decarbonise hard-to-electrify industries in particular. It published an EU Hydrogen Strategy in mid-2020 and updated it with its REPowerEU plan in 2022. The Commission also set the course for creating a renewable hydrogen market in the EU through setting targets for hydrogen production and import. It also recognised that low-carbon hydrogen could play a role in the transition towards climate neutrality.
