OÜ Stargate Hydrogen Maakri tn 19/1 Our Ref: 11.04.2022 No 1-9/22/0027/0597 Tallinn, 10145 Letter of Support To whom it may concern, This letter is to confirm that I, the undersigned Kati Tamtik, on behalf of The Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority of Republic of Estonia (further on ECPTRA), declare my support for the Interreg Baltic Sea Region project to develop a compatible EU-wide legislation for the easier green hydrogen uptake. The ECPTRA is a supervisory authority to guarantee the national legislation and regulations developed within this project are followed. That is why we value the consortium with the full value chain as participation of legislative authorities adds quality to legislation, regulations, and technical standards. Developing the legislation in question will widen the opportunities in the EU to move on the course of green energy and smaller ecological footprint. We recognise the biggest challenge in most of the Baltic Sea Region countries today is getting the right policies and regulations in place to build up a green hydrogen infrastructure and to initiate first green hydrogen projects. The Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme is a source of EU funding for those with smart ideas to shape the region. Creating quality legislation, regulations, and technical standards will open the path to cleaner environment and will widen the prospects for sustainable sources of energy. I confirm that ECPTRA is happy to provide its support and expertise whenever possible. We are looking forward to seeing the designed pilot in operation. We understand that supporting this call for proposals does not imply a financial contribution to the cost of the project and that we have no expectation of a financial benefit from our involvement.
