Germany and UK bid for ‘international leadership’ on hydrogen
Two governments sign joint declaration of intent to cooperate on driving growth of trade and investment in low-carbon hydrogen
Germany and the UK have signed a joint declaration of intent to work together to drive the development of the low-carbon hydrogen sector, with a focus on growing international trade and accelerating the deployment of production projects. The two countries aim to establish “international leadership” on hydrogen markets by setting safety and regulatory standards to support trade. They also plan to cooperate on market analysis to support planning and investment by government and industry, and work to make hydrogen technologies cheaper and more accessible. “With this declaration, we are on our way to jointly help developing the European and international markets for hydrogen,” said Philipp Nimme
