Towards hydrogen economy in Lithuania

Abstract

Hydrogen energy technologies can play a vital role in solving problems related to the energy sector. In order to create globally acceptable strategies in the development of hydrogen economy international groups have been created. In spite of multinational cooperation, national strategies on development of hydrogen energy technologies vary considerably from country to country due to different national constraints. Lithuania is also in the process of developing its national hydrogen energy strategy taking into account its national peculiarities. The first part of this article analyzes the strategy of hydrogen technology commercialization in the European Union and the second part analyzes the specific problems related to introduction of hydrogen energy technologies into the market in Lithuania.
