EC JRC finds delivery of large amounts of green hydrogen over long distances could be cost-effective

Green Car Congress

This finding is important because access to sufficient amounts of renewable hydrogen at low cost is essential for achieving a climate neutral Europe by 2050. Importing hydrogen from places with cheaper renewable energy resources could be an alternative to local production, but would result in higher transport costs.
