Hydrogen licensing made simpler. But major difficulties remain" (with José Luís Moreira da Silva)

"The interpretative note determines that a 'simple declaration of honor' is signed, in which producers commit to produce hydrogen from renewable sources, "making a process that is complex under the law and European rules simple", evaluates the partner responsible for the Environment Department at SRS, José Luís Moreira da Silva. The 'proof of nine' is requested later, in the construction phase, when a set of documents must be delivered to prove the attestation in the initial declaration.
If the use of renewable energy is not confirmed, producers are subject to sanctions, emphasizes the same SRS partner. These sanctions include a loss of operating rights, and the title relating to the installation and operation of the industrial establishment will not be issued, the note reads. The interpretative note "really simplifies the process and allows the opening of the procedure and its faster conclusion", concludes José Luís Moreira da Silva."
