Green hydrogen is expected to play a key role in decarbonising the EU so that it can achieve its emission reduction goals by 2050.
"We would like clearly to demonstrate that we are the global leader if it comes to the use of these new technologies," Commission Executive Vice President, Maroš Šefčovič, said in an interview on Monday.
