The European Commission has initiated the second Renewable Hydrogen Auction, allocating about €2 billion to bolster green hydrogen projects within the European Economic Area. Managed by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, this initiative aims to support producers of Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) hydrogen. The funding sources include €1.2 billion from the Innovation Fund and €700 million from Spain, Lithuania, and Austria. The auction targets key sectors' decarbonization and emphasizes the role of green hydrogen. The auction's focus includes general production and advancements in the maritime sector, with strict criteria for location, technical capacity, resilience, and operational deadlines. The initiative from the first auction demonstrated success in financing projects, with supported projects aiming to bridge the cost gap between renewable and non-renewable hydrogen production. These projects, supported by grants, are set to produce 1.58 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen, curbing over 10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in the next decade. The competitive pricing structure, criteria alignment with EU objectives, and support for innovative projects indicate a positive sentiment towards green hydrogen adoption and decarbonization efforts in key industries like steel, chemicals, maritime, and fertilizer production.
