MEPs also made a decision on purchasing electricity for the production of hydrogen and e-fuels. The eFuel Alliance sees this vote as further evidence of the EU Parliament’s ambitions to advance the European hydrogen economy: “The ambitious quotas for transport and industry can only be met with extensive production capacities. By setting clear but feasible sustainability criteria, the market for hydrogen and eFuels can gain a foothold in Europe,” explained Griefahn. The EU now has the chance to position itself as a pioneer in a future-oriented technology market, summarized Griefahn. “We are optimistic that the EU Parliament will be able to convincingly present and implement its ambitious targets in the trilogue negotiations with the other EU institutions. A weakening of the quotas would send the wrong signal.” (awm)
