17/03/2023 (Agence Europe) – Some 40 NGOs across Europe expressed their concern, in a joint statement addressed to the Commission on Thursday 16 March, about the 150 or so large-scale hydrogen transport projects that have applied for priority Project of Common Interest (PCI) or Project of Mutual Interest (PMI) status through the PCI/PMI list. They denounce the fact that 90% of the candidate projects openly aim at transporting hydrogen based on fossil fuels or do not exclude the transport of hydrogen of fossil origin. “All public money must only be used to support infrastructure that is needed for 100% renewable hydrogen.”, the statement said. The consultation to collect contributions from citizens, organisations and public authorities on the PCI/PMI list was closed on 16 March.
