VZKC: "Green hydrogen from outside Europe, political, policy and commercial exposure"
Importing green hydrogen
The import of green hydrogen from outside the EU raises questions, and will be highlighted by three speakers from different perspectives.
Questions that arise include whether the MoUs should perhaps have a paragraph to set out conditions for the companies in which it can be guaranteed that the benefits do not accrue unilaterally to the EU but also to the country of origin.
And what would this mean for the commercial side of green hydrogen imports?
And how does the current government, which is rather of wanting to do everything domestically, react to the amount of green hydrogen we plan to import?
