The three parties consider green hydrogen as vital for reaching climate targets and building a more circular economy—e.g., by combining it with emissions from steel manufacture to make new products. The recently presented Dutch Climate Law sets a CO 2 reduction target of 49% by 2030 compared to 1990.
