Umthetho osanda kushicilelwa we-EU ovumelayo, ochaza i-hydrogen eluhlaza, wamukelwe yimboni ye-hydrogen njengoletha isiqiniseko ezinqumweni zokutshalwa kwezimali kanye namamodeli ebhizinisi ezinkampani ze-EU. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, imboni ikhathazekile ngokuthi "imithetho yayo eqinile" izokwandisa izindleko zokukhiqizwa kwe-hydrogen evuselelekayo.
UFrancois Paquet, uMqondisi Wezomthelela e-European Renewable Hydrogen Alliance, uthe: “Lo mthethosivivinywa uletha ukuqiniseka komthetho okudingeka kakhulu ukuze kuvalwe ukutshalwa kwezimali futhi kufakwe imboni entsha eYurophu. Awuphelele, kodwa unikeza ukucaca ohlangothini lokunikezwa.”
I-Hydrogen Europe, inhlangano yezimboni enethonya ye-EU, ithe esitatimendeni ukuthi kuthathe iminyaka engaphezu kwemithathu ukuthi i-EU ihlinzeke ngohlaka lokuchaza uphethiloli ovuselelekayo we-hydrogen kanye nowe-hydrogen. Le nqubo ibilokhu inde futhi inzima, kodwa ngokushesha nje lapho imenyezelwa, lo mthethosivivinywa wamukelwa yimboni ye-hydrogen, ebilokhu ilinde ngabomvu imithetho ukuze izinkampani zikwazi ukwenza izinqumo zokugcina zokutshalwa kwezimali kanye namamodeli ebhizinisi.
Kodwa-ke, inhlangano yanezela: “Le mithetho eqinile ingafezwa kodwa ngokungenakugwenywa izokwenza amaphrojekthi e-hydrogen eluhlaza abize kakhulu futhi izonciphisa amandla awo okukhula, inciphise umthelela omuhle wezomnotho wesilinganiso futhi ithinte ikhono laseYurophu lokuhlangabezana nemigomo ebekwe yi-REPowerEU.”
Ngokungafani nokwamukelwa ngokuqapha okuvela kubahlanganyeli embonini, abakhankaseli besimo sezulu kanye namaqembu ezemvelo baye babuza "ukuhlanzwa kwezitshalo" kwemithetho yokuyekethisa.
I-Global Witness, iqembu lesimo sezulu, ithukuthele kakhulu ngemithetho evumela ugesi ovela kumafutha asetshenziswa ukukhiqiza i-hydrogen eluhlaza lapho amandla avuselelekayo entuleka, ibiza umthethosivivinywa wokugunyazwa kwe-EU ngokuthi “indinganiso yegolide yokuhlanzwa okuluhlaza”.
I-hydrogen eluhlaza ingakhiqizwa ngamandla angaphansi komhlaba kanye namalahle uma amandla avuselelekayo engekho, kusho i-Global Witness esitatimendeni. Futhi i-hydrogen eluhlaza ingakhiqizwa ngogesi wegridi yamandla avuselelekayo okhona, okuzoholela ekusetshenzisweni kukaphethiloli owengeziwe kanye namandla amalahle.
Enye inhlangano engekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni, iBellona ese-Oslo, ithe isikhathi sokushintsha kuze kube sekupheleni kuka-2027, esizovumela abanduleli ukuba bagweme isidingo "sokwengezwa" iminyaka eyishumi, sizoholela ekwandeni kokukhishwa kwegesi esikhathini esifushane.
Ngemva kokuba imithetho emibili isidlulisiwe, izothunyelwa ePhalamende laseYurophu kanye noMkhandlu, onezinyanga ezimbili zokuyibuyekeza bese unquma ukuthi uyazamukela noma uyazenqaba yini iziphakamiso. Uma umthetho wokugcina usuqediwe, ukusetshenziswa okukhulu kwe-hydrogen evuselelekayo, i-ammonia kanye nezinye izinto ezitholakala kuyosheshisa ukususwa kwe-carbonization ohlelweni lwamandla lwe-EU futhi kuthuthukise izifiso zaseYurophu zezwekazi elingenazo izimo zezulu.
