- French Energy Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher is trying to get EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson to include nuclear among energy sources for the production of so-called “green” hydrogen.
- The targets listed in the programme include producing 10 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030 and importing 10 million tonnes from third countries that respect the same environmental and technological standards.
- The French minister thus called on Simson to leave it up to the member state to introduce low-carbon energies on the same level as renewable energies in the mix, as long as this contributes to the reduction of fossil energy consumption.
