This differentiation is due to the logistical cost and the technical difficulty of supplying clean fuels. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/noticias\/panama-construira-la-refineria-de-biocombustibles-mas-grande-del-mundo\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"40042\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clean fuels in port operations.<\/a><\/strong> in port operations. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green hydrogen projects with economic backing<\/h2>\n\n<p>In addition to EU funds, Spain, Austria and Lithuania have committed up to EUR 836 million. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/es\/ip_24_5862\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/es\/ip_24_5862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">836 million through the \u201cAuctions as a Service\u201d platform.<\/a> <\/strong>836 million through the \u201cAuctions as a Service\u201d platform.
