Green hydrogen may gain ground in South-eastern Europe

Significance

GH is a means to store renewable energy and is vital for decarbonising manufacturing, transport, shipping and other key industries. The technology could boost the EU-promoted green transition in South-eastern Europe.

Impacts

• Improved energy storage capacity will pave the way for investment into solar, wind and other renewable sources.
• Neighbouring countries will cooperate on GH projects, including on co-production and transmission.
• South-eastern Europe may become a GH hub for the EU as a whole
