### The Clean Industrial Deal and the Exclusion of Nuclear Power
The Open Data Forum За怦 encu Pac informa Depths about the European Commission’s National Energyshort Bute demanding to plug to a net-zero economy. In the coming years, the Clean Industrial Deal aims to eliminate harmful emissions by supporting innovative technologies and policies to transition Europe in building a more sustainable and green future. However, the exact role of nuclear power in this framework remains unclear, implicating changes to a Wilkinson sketch of energy production that could disrupt EU decision-making.

One critical issue at the heart of the debate is the role of hydrogen in decarbonizing industries. Hydrogen is a clean energy carrier, replacing heavy conventional energy sources like oil and gas, and its efficient production is essential for industries such as steelmaking, chemicals, and manufacturing. To qualify for state aid in the Clean Industrial Deal, countries must ensure that 25% of their hydrogen production is “green hydrogen,” which benefits from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower. But thele “low-carbon” hydrogen—as produced using natural gas or nuclear power combined with carbon capture and storage—currently appears to be only an option 10% of the time.

Von der Leyen, the European Commission’s Minister of Renewable Energy, and Séjourné, the French Ecostrategie Department head, Digressant about the EU’s role in ensuring a diverse energy landscape that emphasizes clean and green sources. According to them, the EU must continue to “divide energy supplies and expand clean sources of generation,” to support competitiveness. During a recent visit to a delays project in Normandy, France, Séjourné even described the transition to a net-zero economy as a “Européen act,” fully recognizing nuclear power as a low-carbon energy source.

Finally, the expected agenda on 26 February will involve the Clean Industrial Deal alongsideSE.exit Integration Group, which focuses on clean transition and competitiveness. The document will include state aid rules designed to incentivize the adoption of low-carbon hydrogen, but despite their importance, nuclear power remains excluded from these guidelines. This exclusion leaves the door open for countries to reduce their hydrogen reliance to even 5%, potentially accelerating a phase where no country depends entirely on fossil fuels.

By presenting these challenges, the context of the European energy transition deepens the need for more inclusive policies. The stakes of excluding nuclear power in state aid are clear, particularly in ensuring a sustainable economy that can achieve the carbon neutrality goals outlined by the EU’s target package. Moving forward, it will be crucial for the Commission to rethink its rules about state aid, particularly regarding the role of nuclear power in contributing to decarbonization.
