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.

In Australia, the Technology Investment Roadmap announcement on 21st May represents the Australian Federal Government’s most recent and significant commitment to invest in low emissions technologies to grow the economy and accelerate Australia’s climate action agenda.
