How green is hydrogen? That's the question the European Commission needs to resolve as it resumes talks on renewable energy targets. At issue is whether or not hydrogen derived from nuclear power can be designated as "renewable." France - heavily reliant on atomic energy - has been lobbying in favor of that. But Germany and Spain oppose it.

It's important because classifications of this kind can affect the eligibility for state aid.
