According to experts Ekot has spoken to, it violates the conflict of interest rules.
The Government commissioned last autumn a proposal to include smaller hydrogen gas facilities in the EU's emission trading system, which could economically favour the production of fossil-free hydrogen.
Another decision, from the summer of 2024, was an assignment to Svenska kraftnät to jointly plan infrastructure for electricity and hydrogen, to enable the construction of more hydrogen pipelines in northern Sweden.
I think it's serious and it's serious that one doesn't understand the seriousness of it, says Professor Olle Lundin, professor of administrative law.
Pehrson responds in writing to Ekot that it wasn't his department that was responsible for the hydrogen decisions.
