At the same time, Brussels signaled that it will also encourage the development of "blue" hydrogen produced from fossil fuels paired with carbon capture, at least for the time being. The Global CCS Institute, a carbon capture think tank based in London, called the EU's strategy ambitious, but warned against picking winners.
