“Development of hydrogen technologies plays major role in the European Green Deal and achievement of climate neutrality goals. Necessity for the development of hydrogen technologies is further consolidated by the crisis of energy resource in Europe which has made everybody step up looking for and using alternative energy resources. As the Baltic leading environmental management company focusing on waste recycling instead of burying in landfill sites, we are already conducting research works on our part to be able to use the non-recyclable waste for gasification and later extracting also hydrogen to power our fleet. There is still a lot to do, but the memorandum marks specific steps to achieve faster and more purposeful development of these technologies in Latvia”, explains Mr Jānis Aizbalts, Chairman of the Board at the LLC (SIA) “Eco Baltia vide”.
Hydrogen is considered one of the possible global ways of decarbonisation with a huge growth potential.

Furthermore establishment of the Latvian Hydrogen Alliance is planned to unify players of the sector and the related parties in a single platform for information exchange, communication, project and cooperation development both nationally and internationally. Besides, hydrogen roadmap of Latvia for the period until the middle of 2023 and hydrogen strategy for the period until the end of 2023 will be developed.
