The European Union should support the domestic production of clean hydrogen with a range of measures that include recognising the potential of all net-zero technologies and developing policies for the industry’s growth, the Brussels-based nuclear industry group nucleareurope has said.

The group said in a position paper that the EU should encourage a diversified approach to clean hydrogen production while pushing for investments in infrastructure that support domestic production, storage, and distribution.

In the position paper, nucleareurope calls on legislators to allocate resources for research and development into improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen production technologies, including nuclear-based methods.
