Umthetho osandul’ ukupapashwa we-EU ovumelayo, ochaza i-hydrogen eluhlaza, wamkelwe lishishini le-hydrogen njengoqinisekisa izigqibo zotyalo-mali kunye neemodeli zoshishino zeenkampani ze-EU. Kwangaxeshanye, eli shishini lixhalabile ukuba “imithetho yalo engqongqo” iya kunyusa iindleko zemveliso ye-hydrogen ehlaziyekayo.
UFrancois Paquet, uMlawuli weMpembelelo kwi-European Renewable Hydrogen Alliance, uthe: “Lo mthetho uzisa uqiniseko olufunekayo lolawulo ukuze kufakwe utyalo-mali kwaye kusetyenziswe ishishini elitsha eYurophu. Awugqibelelanga, kodwa unika ingcaciso kwicala lokubonelela.”
IHydrogen Europe, umbutho wezoshishino onefuthe kwi-EU, uthe kwingxelo yakhe ukuba kuthathe iminyaka engaphezu kwemithathu ukuba i-EU ibonelele ngesakhelo sokuchaza amafutha avuselelekayo e-hydrogen kunye ne-hydrogen. Le nkqubo ibinde kwaye inzima, kodwa kwangoko nje emva kokuba ibhengeziwe, lo mthetho wamkelwe lishishini le-hydrogen, elilinde ngolangazelelo imithetho ukuze iinkampani zikwazi ukwenza izigqibo zokugqibela zotyalo-mali kunye neemodeli zoshishino.
Nangona kunjalo, intlangano yongeze ngelithi: “Le mithetho ingqongqo inokufezekiswa kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo iya kwenza iiprojekthi ze-hydrogen eluhlaza zibize kakhulu kwaye iya kunciphisa amandla azo okwandisa, inciphise impembelelo entle yoqoqosho lomlinganiselo kwaye ichaphazele amandla aseYurophu okuhlangabezana neenjongo ezibekwe yi-REPowerEU.”
Ngokungafaniyo nokwamkelwa ngononophelo ngabathathi-nxaxheba kushishino, abakhankaseli bemozulu kunye namaqela okusingqongileyo baye babuza "ukulungiswa kwemithetho engathathi cala".
I-Global Witness, iqela elijongene notshintsho lwemozulu, inomsindo ngokukodwa ngemithetho evumela umbane ovela kwi-fossil fuels ukuba usetyenziswe ukuvelisa i-hydrogen eluhlaza xa amandla ahlaziyekayo enqongophele, ibiza umthetho we-EU wokuba “ngumgangatho wegolide wokuhlamba i-greenwash”.
I-hydrogen eluhlaza inokuveliswa ngamandla e-fossil kunye namalahle xa amandla avuselelekayo enqongophele, itsho i-Global Witness kwingxelo. Kwaye i-hydrogen eluhlaza inokuveliswa ngombane wegridi yamandla avuselelekayo akhoyo, nto leyo eya kukhokelela ekusetyenzisweni kwamandla e-fossil kunye namandla e-coal.
Enye i-NGO, iBellona ese-Oslo, ithe ixesha lokutshintsha ukuya ekupheleni kuka-2027, eliza kuvumela abo bangaphambili ukuba baphephe isidingo "sokongeza" kangangeminyaka elishumi, liza kukhokelela ekwandeni kokukhutshwa komoya ongcolileyo kwixesha elifutshane.
Emva kokuba le mithetho mibini ipasisiwe, iya kuthunyelwa kwiPalamente yaseYurophu nakwiBhunga, elineenyanga ezimbini zokuyiphonononga kwaye ligqibe kwelokuba liyazamkela okanye liyazamkela na izindululo. Nje ukuba umthetho wokugqibela ugqityiwe, ukusetyenziswa okukhulu kwehydrogen evuselelekayo, i-ammonia kunye nezinye izinto eziphuma kuyo kuya kukhawulezisa ukususwa kwekhabhoni kwinkqubo yamandla ye-EU kwaye kuqhubele phambili amabhongo aseYurophu elizwekazi elingenasimo sezulu.
