The European Commission has introduced a comprehensive regulatory framework to support the growth of low-carbon hydrogen within the European Union. The methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emissions associated with low-carbon hydrogen aligns with the Hydrogen and Gas Market Directive, aiming to provide clarity and consistency across member states. To be classified as low-carbon, hydrogen must demonstrate a minimum 70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to unabated fossil fuels, with recognized production pathways including CCUS and low-emission electricity. This initiative is set to stimulate investments in the sector, particularly in industries where electrification poses challenges. The regulation not only establishes eligibility criteria and certification procedures but also considers the existing legal framework to ensure regulatory coherence. Future plans involve a public consultation in 2026 on utilizing Power Purchase Agreements for nuclear energy in low-carbon hydrogen production, alongside an emphasis on strengthening methane regulation monitoring. The European Commission emphasizes the importance of regulatory clarity to attract investments and drive industrial progress, ultimately ensuring the competitiveness of European industry amidst the increasing focus on hydrogen in the continent's energy strategy.
