The European Commission will review hydrogen refuelling station targets in 2026
Industry split over hydrogen refuelling targets
Modelling differs on whether infrastructure will be adequate to decarbonise trucking sector
The EU must go further with its hydrogen infrastructure regulation if it is to adequately encourage the uptake of hydrogen vehicles, according to some industry bodies, while others say the regulation has gone too far. Earlier in July, MEPs approved the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), which mandates one gaseous hydrogen refuelling station every 200km along the planned Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), as well as one per urban node, by the end of 2030. Each refuelling station is required to have a 1t/d of hydrogen supply capacity. MEPs had been pushing for a faster rollout, notably by 2027 on hydrogen refuelling stations, backed by industry bodies such as the Intern
