EU’s Hydrogen and fuel cell future research strategy revealed

Friday 18 March 2005 – 08:35
Hydrogen meets two essential needs of European policy: reduced energy dependence and reduced greenhouse gases.

The EU recognised the potential of hydrogen and fuel cells a long time before a high level group was asked, in October 2002, to define the basis for an integrated vision of the EU’s strategy on hydrogen and fuel cells and their role on sustainable energy policy. In its final report ‘Hydrogen and fuel cells: A vision of our future’, the group recommended the establishment of a ‘Hydrogen and fuel cell technology platform’ (HFP), to define and carry out concrete research and development actions in the area.
