In the long term, hopes rest in particular on green hydrogen. But the associated regulatory chaos is jeopardizing the energy transition, observers say. The criteria for production, in particular, are drawing a lot of criticism.

This also involves the classification of so-called low carbon fuels as climate-friendly alternatives. However, observers say that the draft legislation, which has been circulating since last week, contains major gaps and demand improvements.
