Is Europe on track to develop its own Hydrogen economy? | DW Business

Efforts are underway to develop an industry for a fuel that could one day enable us to fly without the guilt of destroying the planet with dirty emissions. The world needs to de-carbonize - and it needs to do so fast in order to avoid planetary disaster. In the search for cleaner alternative fuels, many are pinning their hopes on Hydrogen. Although its production still overwhelmingly relies on burning fossil fuels, proponents point to the fact that the only byproducts of consuming it are heat and water. In Europe, lawmakers are keen to harness its power too. Scotland in particular sees huge potential in exporting the fuel - especially given the availabilty of wind power, which would enable it to produce the fuel cleanly.

Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Energy Neil Gray is hoping to drum up support for his country's Hydrogen ambitions and distance himself from British Prime Minister Richi Sunak's recent decision to weaken the UK's climate goals.
