Ministers: Czechia will support greater use of hydrogen in industry

The Czech Republic will support the greater use of hydrogen in its industry in order to lower its energy dependence on Russia, Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský and Industry Minister Jozef Síkela said on the occasion of Wednesday’s Czech-German Hydrogen Day conference in Prague. They said that hydrogen could be used especially in the chemical and transport industries.

Mr Lipavský said that hydrogen is both a clean energy source as well as one that offers greater energy independence in a time when it is necessary to ensure that the Czech Republic doesn’t get blackmailed through energy supplies.
