Good luck with that trade Si_D

Airbus, BMW and Michelin are among 11 companies set to receive millions in public subsidy to develop low-carbon hydrogen technology after EU competition officials approved a whopping package of state aid for an ‘important project of common European interest’ (IPCEI).

The Hy2Move project, which as its name implies is intended to develop transport fuels, was prepared jointly by Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Slovakia and Spain, who requested an exemption from single market rules that normally prohibit national subsidies.

It is hoped the state aid will be matched by €3.3bn in private sector investment into projects such as developing fuels cells sufficiently powerful for use in ships and trains, and lightweight hydrogen tanks that can safely store the explosive gas for use as an aviation fuel.

The German Cabinet today (May 29) passed a new law to ease planning approvals for clean hydrogen projects to the accelerate expansion of the energy carrier.

Berlin has said the Hydrogen Acceleration Act creates the legal framework for the “rapid development and expansion of the infrastructure for the production, storage and import of hydrogen.”

Hoped to simplify and digitise planning, approval and procurement procedures, the act is intended to reduce regulatory requires and amends various existing laws.

Once law, it will give hydrogen infrastructure “overriding public interest” status, allowing authorities to prioritise approval.

Thought you might be on manoeuvres Si_D, mission activated :)

BT, did see your comment to someone but wasn't sure who it was.

The answer is simple, people give them the attention they crave and need; cut off the ‘oxygen’ and they will seek another platform to justify their existence

UK interest rates should be cut to 3.5% by the end of next year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recommended. Such a move could see the Bank of England cut its key rate by up to seven times from its current level of 5.25%
