With Europe embarking on the path beyond Copenhagen, it is key to integrate fuel cell and hydrogen technologies in European and national policies, as they offer a unique combination of advantages that can address the energy challenges and they are part of the solution to tackle climate change at local, regional, national and European level, whilst boosting the economic growth for a competitive Europe. Yet, Europe is suffering from a lack of awareness about these technologies and their potential. Recent successful demonstrations projects have been achieved, however, there are still a number of barriers to overcome for the market uptake of these technologies. It is therefore of the utmost importance that parliamentarians across Europe have the keys in their hands to understand fuel cells and hydrogen technologies, how they work and what their potentials are.
