Even relatively low-heat processes like tissue manufacturing are switching to hydrogen: Kimberly Clarke in the UK are spending £125 million to convert from natural gas to H2.

There is no way Europe can supply it's energy needs domestically
We are at 21GW offshore wind, because of ECB monetary policy. We need 350GW in 25 yrs. So no, no way we are going to get more than this, which itself is only 10-12% of final EU energy consumption
It's hydrogen imports no matter what

Central bank independence should be reframed in light of climate change, say economists
Monetary and fiscal policy should work in tandem while balancing risk of political interference, say economists Geoff Mann and Ann Pettifor.
