As the world races towards a net-zero future, the role of hydrogen in the energy transition is emerging as nothing short of critical. In a recent study, the London-based Royal Society emphasized that hydrogen will play a pivotal role in ensuring a net-zero electricity system for Britain, asserting that no other energy storage method can provide the scale of backup power needed.

In Belgium, Flanders has taken its federal government to court over the recently approved federal law on hydrogen. The regional government, led by Energy Minister Zuhal Demir of the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), argues that hydrogen should fall under regional jurisdiction, setting the stage for a legal battle that could have far-reaching implications for the hydrogen industry in the country.
