🚀Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz goes #Montenegro! The project meeting for Danube Indeet took place in Ulcinj, Montenegro, on 12th and 13th September 2024. Our colleagues Darja Markova and Jovana Winkler had the pleasure to represent the Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz. 🙌 It was exciting to gain insights into the progress of the project and to engage in discussions with the invited stakeholders on the topics of green hydrogen 💧 and electric mobility 🔋. One focus was our legal workshop ⚖️, led by our colleagues: The workshop discussed the current legal and policy frameworks in the participating countries to identify similarities and differences. 🔍 The #project not only includes legal analyses but also an acceptance analysis aimed at exploring public approval of hydrogen and e-mobility in the upcoming years. Targeted stakeholders will also be conducted in interviews for this purpose. 🤝 The interdisciplinary exchange has been extremely valuable 💡 and we look forward to exploring the specific challenges for the different regions as the project progresses. 🚀 #ProjectMeeting #Interreg #DanubeRegion #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Energy #GreenHydrogen #ElectricMobility #Networking

📣 NEW BLOGPOST Last week, the European Commission published a Communication on "A strong European #Industry for a Sustainable Europe", following the conclusion of the #CleanTransitionDialogues. We at EPICO KlimaInnovation gathered our reactions to the text. What should the EU do next to strengthen European industries' #resilience? Read here 👇

As a member of the Global Gateway Business Advisory Group, we have been discussing the developments of the Global Gateway toolbox with the European Commission and other industry participants over the past months. But what exactly does this mean for markets and countries? At the recent Germany Trade & Invest webinar, our Policy and Regulation Manager Erhan Erdogan discussed just that with his fellow panelists!  In developing sectors, such as the hydrogen economy, the implementation of projects depends heavily on economic factors, but not only. Often bilateral agreements between countries or energy partnerships can guide market participants by aligning policies, regulations and reducing trade barriers. To facilitate this, we expect a diverse toolbox of support possibilities from the Global Gateway initiative, like the establishment of international partnerships, simplified access to European instruments/funding, strategic orientation and the creation of a resilient market environment that enables investments. We also believe that cooperation with strategic regions is important, such as the MENA region, which is currently receiving little attention.  The Global Gateway Initiative in general has a lot of potential as it aims to provide both financial and regulatory support to industries such as the hydrogen industry. We look forward to contributing to the further development of the initiative and communicating the needs of the private sector. We support the establishment of a “one-stop-shop”, the creation of new financing tools targeting innovative technologies and transparency on provided support measures.  Thanks to Wilhelm Emmrich, Lisa Flatten and Björn Schildberg for the productive and enjoyable exchange! #LOHC #hydrogen #energytransition

The Energy Transition Dialogue starts this year in Berlin with a very exciting side event. How can Brazil and Germany take profit of bilateral opportunities from fostering the partnership towards a low-carbon economy? There are many business opportunities we are working on in the energy, chemical, agro-tech, mobility sectors. I look forward to that event followed by many others this week. #brazil #energytransitiondialogue

Can the #hydrogen #IPCEI deliver on developing a European decarbonized hydrogen industry? The note below published by Terra Nova- think tank shares my experience and learnings from preparing and negotiating Symbio's #Hymotive #IPCEI. Even if the process took too much time, the IPCEI is the best policy instrument Europe has come up with in terms of #industrialpolicy in recent decades. But for the public money spent to deliver the intended outcomes, we need: 1) a more detailed understanding of the value chains addressed, 2) a stronger European perspective, and 3) a better articulation with other (demand-side) policies. For the hydrogen sector, more support is needed on two fronts: - Reduce the hydrogen price and lower risks for initial large-scale off-takers - Deploy recharging infrastructure and enable vehicle purchases to accelerate the ramp-up of the mobility sector as the biggest long-term hydrogen off-taker. How to maintain/restore the #competitiveness of European industry in times of #energytransition is the key question for the upcoming #EuropeanElections. Decarbonised hydrogen and hydrogen #mobility are part of the solution and offer Europe a chance to regain technology leadership and create industrial jobs. Let's leverage the full potential from the IPCEIs - and avoid re-doing the mistakes we did 10-15 years ago in #photovoltaïcs! What are your learnings, #IPCEI folks? I look forward to your feedback, whether you participated in the hydrogen, #battery or #semiconductor IPCEI! #MySymbioRide Bruno Le Maire Roland Lescure Robert Habeck Matthieu Landon Pierre Jeremie Thomas Courbe Thierry Pech Olivier Lluansi
