Hydrogen Policy in France: A Look Around the Country

As France commits to a hydrogen future, HIL provides the long term policy released by the government.

In the foreword, Barbara Pompili, Minister for the Ecological Transition explained:

“The recovery is an opportunity for France to position itself at the forefront of the breakthrough technologies that will be at the heart of tomorrow’s world. Decarbonised hydrogen is one of them.”

“France is convinced that decarbonised hydrogen will be one of the great revolutions of our century: it is a key for the decarbonisation of the industrial sector, for developing and deploying emission-free mobility solutions, for energy storage and addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energies.”

“We are massively accelerating these investments by committing €7bn between now and 2030, including €2b from the recovery plan. Our goal is clear: to combine technological development and the ecological transition.”
