The letter calls for commissioners to:

🌿 Focus on sustainability
🤝 Focus on cohesion
⚖️ Focus on a just transition
🏭 Build CO₂ infrastructure
📈 Create demand for low-carbon products
💶 Address the funding gap
🌍 Build international partnerships

Our brief – linked above – details further through five core recommendations as to why we are putting forward this call for action. Check it out! (P.s., stay tuned for the next phase of this work in 2025!) @cleanaircatf.bsky.social

➕This effort should be complemented by a roadmap to 2030 (and beyond), coordinated closely with Member State plans, to ensure that targets are practical and achievable.

🗣️CATF is calling for an update to the EU Hydrogen Strategy, including a revision of the overly ambitious 2030 targets to more realistic goals, grounded in thorough analysis based on existing and future sectoral hydrogen demand.

⌛This halfway mark, as well as the newly approved #EUCommission in place, provides a timely opportunity to reflect on the existing EU Hydrogen Strategy and provide a more pragmatic and technologically open-minded approach going forward.

⁉️Why? Well, we are approaching the halfway mark to 2030, and only around 0.4%(!) of the EU’s hydrogen production comes from #renewables -based #electrolysis, far from the 10 million tonnes expected to be online by 2030, with another 10 million tonnes imported.
