The Belgian institute’s briefing 19 “The Policy Framework for the Promotion of  Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in Europe:  a Critical Assessment* highlights the failure of EU policy to create “a strong push factor” for hydrogen development, asserting that while EU regulatory policies have had “a weak but positive impact,” spending policies have shown “inconsistencies”.  The briefing was partly funded through the EU project Roads2HyCom and can be downloaded at  www.coleurop.be.
