France scales back 2030 hydrogen targets - Hydrogen Central

France scales back 2030 hydrogen targets On Wednesday morning, the government revised downwards the country’s target for “green” hydrogen production capacity. It now aims for “up to 4.5 gigawatts” installed by 2030 and a maximum of 8 GW by 2035, compared to 6.5 GW and 10 GW, respectively, previously. After the cascade of promises, the difficult return to reality. In its new “national strategy” on low-carbon hydrogen published this Wednesday morn…

National hydrogen strategy: opening up to imports As it sets up hydrogen diplomacy to help its industry export, France does not exclude imports of low-carbon hydrogen or its derivatives in the long term. After 2035, the use of imports, particularly hydrogen products, could be economically justified, as the new strategy says. One of the first conditions would be confirmation of increased synthetic fuel requirements in the air and sea sectors, whi…

In a statement, the Executive explained that its goal is now that, by 2030, France will have electrolysis facilities that allow the production of hydrogen with electricity for up to 4.5 gigawatts (GW) and 8 GW…
