EU looks to develop hydrogen links with India
EU-India Green Hydrogen Forum marks beginning of anticipated cooperation on standards, research and policy frameworks
The EU wants to cooperate with India on green hydrogen projects over the coming months as it looks to expand its list of potential suppliers. Speaking at the first EU-India Green Hydrogen Forum, EU energy commissioner Kadri Simson said there were many avenues for cooperation—including the Horizon Europe funding programme, technology accelerator the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, and knowledge-sharing body the Trade and Technology Council. “We want to work with you and financing partners in view of a hydrogen project pipeline in India,” she added. “The EU and India can learn from one another: on international standards, on research and innovation, and on policy frameworks.”
