Galp Energia chief says Europe's fuel crisis risks progress on renewables

The head of Portuguese energy company Galp Energia on Monday said Europe's fuel crisis risks a loss of focus on the shift to renewables from fossil fuels.

Andy Brown, speaking at the CERAWeek energy conference, said surging oil and gas prices could lead to a loss of focus and attention on solar, wind and other clean fuels. Energy firms should focus on developing clean-burning hydrogen from water, not from natural gas, he said.
