In 2019, Italy adopted the Energy and Climate National
Integrated Plan (Piano Nazionale Integrato Energia e Clima
or PNIEC) that targeted reducing the country's emissions
by 55%-compared to 1990 base levels-by 2040. To help
adhere these emissions targets, the Italian government
plans to incorporate green H2
mobility sectors within the country. Italy's H2

are investing in building H2 fueling stations throughout
the country and using green H2
operations-e.g., Eni will use green H2
to power industrial

SwitchH2
BV's NH3 FPSO project that will produce green
ammonia on a converted crude oil tanker), and the development
of new H2
hubs. The various H2
hubs-in places
such as Agdar, Kristiansand and Sauda-will help provide
clean fuels to decarbonize Norway's maritime sector.
Published in 2020, Portugal's National Strategy for
Hydrogen outlined the objectives to increase the production
and use of green H2
in the country's energy mix.
According to the report, Portugal aims to increase H2
consumption in both the domestic industrial and transportation
sectors to 5% by 2030. This initiative includes
the establishment of 2 GW-2.5 GW of H2
capacity, the construction of 50-100 H2

mid-2023, Portugal's Energy Secretary announced that
the nation has firm investment commitments in place that

Austria's
Verbund, is spearheading the multi-billion-dollar Green
Hydrogen @ Blue Danube project. The goal of the project
is to create a trans-European green H2
supply chain that
would connect the Danube river with the Rhine river and
the Black Sea, integrating various pipeline networks and
maritime ports. The inland waterways will provide pathways
to ship green H2
across Europe-most green H2
will
be produced in southeast Europe, primarily in Romania,
and then exported to demand centers in countries such as
Austria and Germany. The project will provide additional
green H2
supplies to Austria to help with the nation's
decarbonization plans. Industry and power providers plan
to utilize the zero-carbon H2

EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA
AND THE CIS
Although representing only 5% of active H2
project
market share globally, the Eastern European, Russia and
CIS regions are investing in increasing the use of low- and
zero-carbon H2

(Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) have
announced both domestic and cross-border H2

four countries were laid out in the Cooperation Opportunities
in Hydrogen Project Support and Development in V4
Countries working paper. According to the document, the
V4 countries' goals are to significantly increase the production
of both low-carbon and green H2

For example, the V4 countries are developing the >

green H2 production capacity of 320 tpd from 40 different
