The document is a declaration of intent between the countries and does not bind the parties to concrete decision-making. As concerns more concrete initiatives or plans, the discussions will be held later and in a manner to be agreed separately, it added.
“The hydrogen economy will be a key tool for Finland in the energy transition of industry and in utilizing the opportunities offered by the clean transition. It will be needed to reduce greenhouse gases, especially in sectors where direct electrification of the processes is not possible. Finland aims to account for 10 per cent of clean hydrogen production in the EU and for at least the same percentage of the further use of hydrogen,” said Finland Minister of Climate and the Environment Sari Multala.
