The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, a €6 billion Italian scheme to support the production of renewable hydrogen for the transport and industrial sectors. The scheme will contribute to the development of renewable hydrogen production capacity in line with the objectives of the EU Hydrogen Strategy and the Clean Industrial Deal. The Italian scheme […]
The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, a €200 million German scheme to support the production in Canada of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives, known as renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs). These RFNBOs will be imported to Germany and sold in the EU, contributing to the objectives of the Clean Industrial […]
To connect potential suppliers with buyers of hydrogen and its derivatives in the EU, the Commission is, today, launching the first call for interest under the Hydrogen Mechanism. Hydrogen and its derivatives can play an important role for sectors that are hard to decarbonise and contribute to the EU reaching climate neutrality by 2050. The […]
The European Union has opened generous lines of financing for green hydrogen, and Romania is among the beneficiaries. Through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, we have allocated 86.5 million euros for the installation of a 100 MW capacity of electrolyzers, intended for the industrial production of clean hydrogen. Ro-HydroHub, a national research and innovation […]
The EU is determined to achieve its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors of the economy by 2050. However, some sectors such as energy-intensive industries and transport can be difficult to directly electrify. This includes steel and cement production, obtaining ammonia for fertilisers, as well as heavy duty vehicles like trucks, airplanes […]
OMV is setting another milestone on the road toward a climate-neutral energy future by laying the foundation stone for one of the largest electrolysis plants for green hydrogen in Europe. The 140 MW plant in Bruck an der Leitha is scheduled to go into operation at the end of 2027. OMV will produce up to […]
Today, the European Commission reaffirms its commitment to supporting the development of a hydrogen market by introducing a comprehensive greenhouse gas emission methodology for low-carbon hydrogen and fuels, as set out in the Hydrogen and Gas Market Directive. This methodology complements the existing ones on renewable hydrogen and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs), completing […]
Today, the Commission announced the selection of 15 renewable hydrogen production projects for public fundingacross the European Economic Area (EEA).The projects, located across five countries, are expected to produce nearly 2.2 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen over ten years, avoiding more than 15 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions. The hydrogen will be produced in sectors […]
The Commission has today published its Opinion (C/2025/2004) on the statutory documents of the European Network of Network Operators for Hydrogen (ENNOH) – the independent association representing future hydrogen transmission network operators at EU level. Detailing the Commission opinion on the draft articles of association, rules of procedure and list of members of ENNOH, this document […]
The 4th Budapest Hydrogen Summit, organized by White Paper Consulting, brought together 90 companies from 19 countries to discuss the role of hydrogen in the energy transition of Europe and the CEE region, the latest developments and opportunities in hydrogen technology. Lack of demand, the complexity of European regulations and technical challenges and uncertainties are […]
The Minister of Investments and European Projects, Marcel Boloș, participated in the official launch of the Romanian Hydrogen and New Energy Technologies Hub – Ro-HydroHub, a center of excellence for research and development of hydrogen-based technologies. The project, financed by the Smart Growth, Digitalization and Financial Instruments Program 2021-2027 (PoCIDIF), benefits from an investment of […]
ABB and Charbone Hydrogen Corporation – an integrated green hydrogen production company based in Montreal, Canada – have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement to collaborate on the development of up to 15 modular and scalable green hydrogen production facilities across North America over the next five years, providing a clean fuel source for existing hydrogen […]
The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, a €400 million Austrian State aid scheme, and a €36 million Lithuanian State aid scheme, to support the production of renewable hydrogen through the European Hydrogen Bank‘s “Auctions-as-a-Service” tool for the auction closing in 2025. The schemes will contribute to the objectives of the Clean […]
The European Hydrogen Bank’s second auction for the production of renewable hydrogen has attracted 61 bids from projects in 11 countries with the European Economic Area (EEA) . Eight of the bids were submitted under the dedicated maritime topic by hydrogen producers with off-takers in the maritime sector. The total grant support requested is more than €4.8 billion, […]
