Aurelie Beauvais, Policy Director of SolarPower Europe said “Green hydrogen makes perfect sense in an energy system with high shares of renewables and constitutes a new opportunity to support the full decarbonisation of our economy. The European Union should therefore pioneer the development of such technologies, which will support an even greater penetration of renewables into the energy system.'
Naomi Chevillard, Policy Advisor at SolarPower Europe added: “A cross-sectoral approach such as solar and hydrogen is important to support more ambitious CO2 emissions reductions, and pool synergies between available resources to achieve a smarter and greener economy. In particular, it will be key to support the full-decarbonisation of sectors using high-temperature heat processes (industry, heavy transport, heating) which have more difficulties to decarbonise through direct electrification.'
