📢 EHB Launches a new report: “Implementation Roadmap - Public support as catalyst for hydrogen infrastructure”. 🎤 Following today's webinar, we're pleased to announce the publishing of a new report, providing recommendations on most cost-effective way to spur the build-out of hydrogen value chains. 📃 The EHB recommends two forms of public support: developmental support and construction/operating support. An estimated €27.5B of public support enables 14MT (490 TWh) of hydrogen to be delivered by ~31.000 km of hydrogen pipelines by 2030, reducing annual emissions by up to 312 MT CO2e per year by 2050.

About us
Since its inception in 2020, the EHB initiative has contributed to the development of a European hydrogen market through publications of its flagship EHB maps, depicting a vision of a pan-European hydrogen transport infrastructure. These network maps and corresponding studies demonstrate how this vision is both technically feasible and economically affordable. The initiative’s contributions have been well-received by hydrogen market players and policy makers alike, with the EHB’s technical inputs being referenced several times in the European Commission’s Hydrogen and gas decarbonisation package, published in December 2021

Fruitful discussions at this week Clean Transition Dialogue emphasized the role of energy infrastructure in the green transition. Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič led the dialogue, focusing on the development of smart and interconnected systems. Maria Sicilia, EHB Chairwoman, represented the 33 gas infrastructure operators that are part of the EHB, highlighting EHB contribution to the dialogue: “A very important initiative for an efficient implementation of the EU Green Deal. At this stage, it is critical to coordinate all energy sectors to create an orchestrated path towards a net zero future, with hydrogen at the crossroads of electricity, gas and CO2 markets, enabling a well-functioning energy system and the sustainability of a competitive industry in Europe“ These dialogues, initiated by President Ursula von der Leyen, foster collaboration between the Commission and industry to support the European Green Deal. #CleanTransition #EuropeanGreenDeal #EuropeanHydrogenBackbone
European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal #EUGreenDeal, for Interinstitutional Relations and #Foresight.
Energy infrastructure is at the centre of our attention given its strategic importance for: 🔸secure supply of clean energy 🔸low energy prices 🔸decarbonisation and electrification of our economy. Glad to host the key stakeholders as part of European Commission's clean transition dialogues. #energysecurity #economicsecurity

💬 It was a pleasure for Maria Sicilia, Chairwoman of The European Hydrogen Backbone to speak and participate in the 5th Clean Transition Dialogue on the European Green Deal Infrastructure yesterday, alongside prominent industry leaders. Hosted by European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, the event provided an opportunity to discuss the strategic role of hydrogen infrastructure in Europe's pursuit of its 2050 net-zero targets. ❗ Let's continue this important conversation

💬 Delighted to share that Maria Sicilia, Chairwoman of The European Hydrogen Backbone, will be participating in the Clean Transition Dialogue for European Green Deal infrastructure! We're eager to lend our expertise to discussions on policy, regulatory frameworks, and operational actions vital for constructing infrastructure aligned with a decarbonized economy. Together, we're poised to shape a greener, more resilient future. 🇪🇺 Many thanks to the Commission for the invitation and the insightful exchange during this pivotal moment. We're excited to see our dialogue evolve further. #CleanTransitionDialogue #EuropeanGreenDeal #EuropeanHydrogenBackbone
European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal #EUGreenDeal, for Interinstitutional Relations and #Foresight.
Securing Europe's industrial competitiveness is an important overarching priority. Today, President Ursula von der Leyen and I sat down with more than 20 representatives of key clean tech sectors, as part of a series of clean transition dialogues, to boost the industrial dimension of the #EUGreenDeal. Innovative clean technologies are the backbone of the green transition, and they will play an increasing role in the EU's economy. We therefore focused our minds on very practical issues, such as the necessary regulatory framework to enhance domestic manufacturing capacity, speedy access to financing to leverage private investment, and ways to secure skilled workforce. We also have to raise our game in the area of critical #rawmaterials, and I will meet the representatives of the entire value chain on February 23. I want to hear what they have to say on ways to boost our domestic production of primary critical raw materials as well as the production of recycled and high-quality secondary raw materials, while also building fair, reliable partnerships with third countries. On February 26, I will sit down with more industrial representatives to discuss actions needed to develop the interconnected, scaled-up, smart infrastructure that is a pre-requisite to the electrification and decarbonisation of our economy. I am particularly glad that the European Investment Bank (EIB) and social partners are part of these engagements because we need all hands on deck. We have no time to spare, as this will also determine our overall standing on the global stage.

Congratulations to all EHB members who received their PCI status this week! This marks a pivotal step forward in the implementation of a pan-European #hydrogen network. During the PCI days Alex Seitsamo highlighted that many of the projects part of the EHB maps have received PCI status, with the first full hydrogen supply corridors materializing in this list of hydrogen infrastructure PCI projects. A big milestone in making the EHB vision a reality!
