Hydrogen infrastructure enables cost-effective supply of energy to consumers
In his recent report on the future of the single European market for the European Council ‘Much more
than a market.’ former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta stresses the importance of building the
hydrogen backbone: ‘The rapid deployment of offshore wind projects and their grid connections,
reinforcing electricity grids and establishing a European backbone hydrogen network connecting
consumer and producers across Europe are probably the most important steps Europe has to take to
succeed in its decarbonization path.’ Hydrogen infrastructure enables energy produced where it is the
cheapest to be supplied to end consumers.
