Dutch Cabinet invests 9 billion euros in scaling up hydrogen
In order to achieve a climate-neutral energy system and a sustainable industry, the Netherlands and Europe have great hydrogen ambitions. These ambitions, according to Ministers Micky Adriaansens (Economic Affairs and Climate) and Rob Jetten (Climate and Energy), call for energetic policy aimed at both the supply and demand side of hydrogen. In order to scale up the hydrogen market, the cabinet is subsidizing electrolysis and wants to encourage industry with subsidies and an obligation to increasingly use renewable hydrogen from 2026. In the Climate Fund, €9 billion has been set aside for this purpose.
