The last few weeks have seen announcements from around the world that continue to position the renewable energy sector as the catalyst that will power the strongest possible recovery from a pandemic-induced global crisis.

The European Commission is pledging to align its Covid-19 economic strategy with the European Green Deal strategy in a historic post-pandemic recovery plan which includes an accelerated push to renewable energy.

Aligned with this, Germany’s National Hydrogen Strategy pledged €9bn to promote hydrogen production and use to accelerate the development of technologies that replace fossil fuels in high temperature industrial processes.
