Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:

“Clean hydrogen plays a significant role in our green energy transition and strategic energy independence. EU is at the cutting edge of hydrogen technologies thanks to long-term investment into research and innovation. Hydrogen Valleys are another important step forward. If policymakers and innovators join forces, we will achieve our aim of having at least 50 of them in operation or under construction by 2030 across the EU.”
