The European Commission has granted approval to the German-Dutch program aimed at supporting the production of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO), which includes renewable hydrogen. The scheme, designed to align with the EU's energy goals, is set to contribute to the objectives of the EU Hydrogen Strategy, European Green Deal, and the REPowerEU plan to lessen dependence on Russian fossil fuels and expedite the shift towards green energy. With an investment of €3 billion from Germany and the Netherlands combined, the program plans to establish at least 1.875 GW of electrolysis capacity globally. This initiative is structured around a competitive dual-auction system that will link RFNBO producers from non-EU nations with buyers in Germany and the Netherlands. The auctions, intended to be finalized by 2025, will be open to projects featuring an electrolysis capacity of minimum 5 MW. The support mechanism will bridge the gap between the selling and buying prices through public resources. To qualify, beneficiaries will need to demonstrate compliance with EU criteria for RFNBO production as outlined in the delegated acts on renewable hydrogen. It is anticipated that this program will help avoid emissions of up to 5.73 million tons of CO2 equivalent, furthering the climate goals of Germany, the Netherlands, and the EU. Additionally, this initiative aligns with the broader framework of the EU's ambition to scale up renewable hydrogen technologies by 2030, in line with other recent allocations for decarbonization and innovative hydrogen projects.
