18.2.2026 | Finland and Germany have signed a statement of intent on further cooperation on hydrogen infrastructure, hydrogen technology development and investments in the hydrogen sector.

15.12.2023 | Hydrogen is the fuel of the stars and makes our life possible. Humanity, however, is still in its infancy in harnessing fusion nuclear power as an energy source, so the role of hydrogen on Earth is different - at least for the moment. Traditionally, it already works as a raw material for many industrial processes, for example oil refining. A new, climate-based need is to utilize clean hydrogen in industrial processes that replace fossil-based production.

15.7.2022 | On 15 July 2022, the European Commission approved up to EUR 5.4 billion of public support by fifteen Member States for projects to boost the production of clean hydrogen and the development of new uses of hydrogen. This public support is also expected to generate private investments of EUR 8.8 billion. Finland is one of the Member States participating in the project.

22.9.2022 | The European Commission has selected the projects of P2X Solutions Oy and Solar Foods Oy for a new European value chain for hydrogen economy, which will boost the production of clean hydrogen and develop new uses for hydrogen.

Climate neutrality requires that we stop using fossil fuels and increase the use of intermittent renewable energy. Different energy systems should be strongly interlinked to secure the functioning of energy systems and improve their efficiency, with due consideration for the large-scale needs of industrial production. However, we must also beware of the pitfalls on the long path towards sector integration.

The European Commission issued its expected Fit for 55 package in July. The handling of proposals in the EU will begin when the autumn term starts. Alongside individual regulatory proposals, it is necessary to assess how the package affects economies as a whole and the deployment of new technologies. However, making these assessments is not always straightforward or easy.
