Hydrogen – An Opportunity for Europe to fight Climate Change
"Hydrogen is enjoying a renewed and rapidly growing attention in Europe and around the world. Hydrogen can be used as a feedstock, a fuel or an energy carrier and storage, and has many possible applications across industry, transport, power and buildings sectors. Most importantly, it does not emit CO2 and almost no air pollution when used. It thus offers a solution to decarbonise industrial processes and economic sectors where reducing carbon emissions is both urgent and hard to achieve. All this makes hydrogen essential to support the EU's commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and for the global effort to implement the Paris Agreement while working towards zero pollution."
Communication on A hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral Europe from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions Commission.
This video aims to be a contribute to the consciousness on this big challenge that needs to target research and innovation and may be a strong support to the energy and climate policy objectives.
