Seven national associations join forces to advance clean hydrogen across Europe
At this year's European Hydrogen Week (2024), seven prominent national hydrogen associations took a significant step towards advancing clean hydrogen technologies by signing the Cooperation Charter for European Associations Advancing Clean Hydrogen. The Charter, developed by Hydrogen Europe, represents a unified commitment to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen technologies, mitigate investment risks, and foster capacity-building across the continent.
The new signatories—Hydrogen UK, Bulgarian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (BGH2A), Deutscher Wasserstoff-Verband (DWV) e.V., Latvian Hydrogen Association, Lithuanian Hydrogen Energy Association, Romanian Association for Hydrogen Energy (AEHR), and the Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform (HYTEP)—join 23 associations that initiated the charter earlier this year. Together, they aim to shape a sustainable future by promoting policies for hydrogen technologies, supporting the development of clean hydrogen markets, and equipping Europe with the skills needed for a thriving hydrogen economy.
This collaboration underpins Europe’s ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and underscores the importance of regional partnerships in driving the transition to a clean energy future.
