Press Release: European Commission to launch High Level Group on Hydrogen and Fuel Cell technologies

A High Level Group on hydrogen is to be established by the European Commission since the gas is seen as one of the most likely clean energy sources of the 21st Century. The Group aims at fostering the development and use of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. It will include senior representatives from leading European research centres, fuel cell system and component producers, energy companies and utilities, automotive companies, and public transport. The Group will look into the role these technologies could play in a 'new energy era', to devise a consistent strategy for hydrogen technology at EU level which could lead to a true hydrogen industrial platform.
