EU sets out hydrogen support strategy

These include plans to support domestic hydrogen production via its Hydrogen Bank, slashing permitting timelines for electrolyser and fuel cell manufacturing facilities, and establishing diversified supply chains for critical minerals.

Payment will be based on delivery of verified and certified volumes with no payment before
