AMBITIES
With the signed declaration, the parties indicate their intention to give the development of the hydrogen economy a big push forward in the coming years. Hydrogen can contribute as an energy carrier to the solution for the congested power grid. It can serve as a replacement for fossil fuel, for example at the Maxima power plant in Lelystad, which currently runs on natural gas. Transportation by road, water and air can also use hydrogen to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The parties will work on the generation of (green) hydrogen and its use. In addition, the hydrogen economy can also strengthen the regional economy by creating jobs in the energy sector.
