Various geopolitical factors are also fostering the need for the use of hydrogen. For instance, in May 2022, in response to the commencement of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine, the European Union (EU) has acted through the implementation of the REPowerEU plan. This plan aims to reduce the EU's reliance on Russian gas imports. A significant component of this strategy is the 'hydrogen accelerator' initiative, which aims to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen within the EU and import an additional 10 million tonnes by the year 2030.
