Given the vast subsidies awarded to electricity grids, renewables, EVs, batteries and the fossil fuel industry itself; the main take-away is that *more state + EU level support is needed* to reach stated goals, with a clear framework to support member states at EU level

The European rules on hydrogen are a disaster. Under guise of pretending to be strict in decarbonization, these rules were drafted in such a way as to make it maximally difficult to actually set up and secure commercial funding for a hydrogen project.

Excellent news. They are waiting for hydrogen infrastructure in Europe; that's the only hold up
The Middle East of course also going all-in on hydrogen; hydrogen will quickly replace much of the fossil fuel value chain once infrastructure is in place - starting with #SoutH2 and #H2med
