The European Union this week set ambitious 2024 and 2030 targets for green hydrogen, a big step for the emerging sector. However, the biggest challenge for CCS-backed blue hydrogen could be keeping pace with the cost reductions green hydrogen makes en route to the 2024 and 2030 targets. Many details are left to fight over.
