In 2020, Germany, European Commission, and several other countries have announced hydrogen strategies and roadmaps. Especially for Europe, its hydrogen strategy announced in July 2020 is based on FCH JU’s hydrogen roadmap in January 2019 and Hydrogen Europe’s “2x40 GW Green Hydrogen Initiative” in April 2021. From 2020, European Commission started discussion on EU taxonomy, and its delegated act in April 2021 reviled its CO2 threshold of 3 kg-CO2/kg-H2, which is lower than CertifHy threshold of 4.4 kg-CO2/kg-H2. Currently, Europe is working on the development of hydrogen pipeline.
