Belgium unveils federal hydrogen vision and strategy.
On the proposal of Energy Minister Tinne Van der Straeten, the Council of Ministers approves the federal hydrogen vision and strategy.
The energy transition requires a fundamental change in how we produce and consume our energy. In this context, the energy carriers used (electricity, hydrogen, gas, oil and their derivatives, etc.) will have to evolve in order to enable us to achieve our climate objectives. Hydrogen seems particularly suitable for decarbonising energy-intensive industry and heavy transport and shipping.
The government has many ambitions for Belgium with regard to the development of the hydrogen market and the associated technologies. In order to achieve this, we must have a clear vision and strategy that gives direction to hydrogen policy. Thanks for staying up to date with Hydrogen Central. That is why a document was drawn up in which the very first federal vision and strategy are elaborated.

The federal hydrogen strategy aims to prepare Belgium as well as possible for the climate challenges, in addition to the technological and economic challenges of the coming decades. This strategy is part of the European Hydrogen Strategy and is based on four pillars:
- positioning itself as an import and transit hub of renewable molecules in Europe
- consolidate our leadership in hydrogen technologies
- organising a robust hydrogen market
- focus on collaboration
The Council of Ministers instructs the Minister of Energy to share this document with the regions and, in consultation with the regions, to develop a more joint and coherent policy framework on hydrogen.
