The plan was agreed under a joint declaration signed in Brussels by the Commission and 20 CEOs from the European electrolyser manufacturing sector. The EU doubled its 2030 hydrogen production target to 10mn t in March as part of RepowerEU, an emergency strategy designed to curb its reliance on Russian oil and gas in response to the war in Ukraine.
