"From 2030, we intend to produce
10 million tons of clean hydrogen per year by ourselves and
import another 10 million tons. This is an ambitious but
feasible goal. Therefore, the project here in Hamburg is a pilot
project for Europe. In addition, the European Hydrogen Bank has
a new auction system. All this will greatly boost the whole
European hydrogen economy." EU Commission President Ursula von
der Leyen said this at the Climate Forum in Hamburg.
"All this comes against a background of a real boom in
renewable energy - she added -; solar capacity increased by 50
percent in 2022 compared to the previous year. In 2023, it
increased by another 40 percent. This means that the expansion
of solar energy is far ahead of schedule until 2030. The same is
true for wind power. We have significantly accelerated the
approval process at the European level," von der Leyen
explained.
