The European Commission selected nine hydrogen projects across seven EEA countries under the European Hydrogen Bank auction. Backed by €1.09 billion ($1.3 billion) in EU funding, they aim to deliver 1.1GW electrolyser capacity, producing 1.3 million tonnes of hydrogen.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) noted the European Commission’s release of the Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP) as a significant step in recognising the urgent need to accelerate air transport’s decarbonisation. The plan addresses several long-standing weaknesses in the EU’s aviation decarbonisation strategy, but more action is still needed.
