Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in a future climate-neutral economy, enabling emission-free transport, heating and industrial processes as well as inter-seasonal energy storage. Clean hydrogen produced with renewable electricity is a zero-emission energy carrier, but is not yet as cost-competitive as hydrogen produced from natural gas. A number of studies show that an EU energy system having a significant proportion of hydrogen and renewable gases would be more cost-effective than one relying on extensive electrification.

Research and industrial innovation in hydrogen applications is an EU priority and receives substantial EU funding through the research framework programmes. Hydrogen projects are managed by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), a public-private partnership supported by the European Commission.

The EU hydrogen strategy, adopted in July 2020, aims to accelerate the development of clean hydrogen. The European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, established at the same time, is a forum bringing together industry, public authorities and civil society, to coordinate investment.

Almost all EU Member States recognise the important role of hydrogen in their national energy and climate plans for the 2021-2030 period. About half have explicit hydrogen-related objectives, focussed primarily on transport and industry.

In the European Parliament, the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) is preparing an own-initiative report on the EU Hydrogen strategy. The Council adopted conclusions on the EU hydrogen market in December 2020, with a focus on renewable hydrogen for decarbonisation, recovery and competitiveness.

The role of open government data as a critical component for enabling and improving the business investment climate across the OSCE region was discussed at a webinar organized by the Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA) on 19 February 2021.

More than 50 representatives from governments, chambers of commerce, civil society organizations, international organizations and academia discussed the potential of digital solutions and open data in creating investment opportunities and enhancing good governance mechanisms in the OSCE region.

The event featured guest speakers from the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), World Bank (WB), Microsoft as well as experts from Estonia and Georgia. The sessions focused on land governance and the importance of open cadastral data for the business environment and emerging digital justice and digital tools that could be used to address investor grievances and mediations.

“The selected best practices of digital platforms and data use highlighted during the webinar, if properly implemented, go a long way to create more attractive economies for businesses and investors,” said Iris Pilika, Programme Officer, Economic Co-operation and Governance, OCEEA.

The speakers recognized that accessible and well-analyzed data is essential for the private sector as it enables companies to efficiently execute their business plans. They also focused on the potential of open data to improve business planning, thus creating a favourable and predictable investment environment.

The OSCE, as part of its good governance and anti-corruption portfolio, provides a platform for open discussion and capacity-building among relevant stakeholders on the potential of open data in enhancing good governance measures and enabling economic recovery during and in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.
