The Greek government has taken a significant step in promoting the adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles by introducing a registration tax exemption as part of a draft law. This move aims to incentivize consumers and drive the transition towards cleaner transportation options. Additionally, DEPA Commercial, the trading arm of the Greek gas supplier, has underscored the pivotal role that green hydrogen will play in the country's energy sector, signaling a strategic shift towards sustainable practices. Furthermore, Greece has launched an open call for proposals to develop a pilot energy project in the Western Macedonia region, demonstrating a commitment to innovation and renewable energy initiatives. The recent establishment of hydrogen refueling stations in Kozani and the commencement of operations at Greece's first commercial hydrogen refueling station by Motor Oil highlight the country's progress in building essential infrastructure for hydrogen-powered vehicles. These developments not only support environmental goals but also pave the way for a more sustainable and greener future in Greece's transportation and energy sectors.
