Europe’s Parliament Adopts Declaration Calling for Green Hydrogen Economy

STRASBOURG, MAY 22 - With more than half of its 795 members signing on, the European Parliament here has adopted a written declaration calling for the establishment of a green hydrogen economy and a third industrial revolution in Europe.

The declaration, signed by 420 MPs, calls for a partnership with committed regions and cities, small and medium businesses and civil society organizations.

The president of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Pöttering, announced the vote Monday at the beginning of the session in Strasbourg.

The declaration called on EU institutions to pursue a 20% increase in energy efficiency by 2020, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2020 (compared to 1990 levels), institute hydrogen fuel cell storage technology and other storage technologies fo portable, stationary and transport uses, and establish a decentralized bottom-up hydrogen infrastructure in all EU member states by 2025.
