They actually didn't.

New plants only qualify as "green investments" if and only if they can be used to burn electrolyzed hydrogen in the future.

Which also isn't "green" in any shape or form.

It's as "green" as the electricity used for the hydrogen production. The idea is to use hydrogen as energy storage, produced from surplus wind and solar energy.
