Italy's Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) and Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT) have finalized the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) for 2024, submitting it to the European Commission. The plan includes hydrogen consumption targets for 2030, focusing on industrial and transport sectors. However, industry experts are skeptical about the plan's ability to meet decarbonisation needs, especially in challenging sectors. To address this, MASE is introducing new regulatory building blocks to accelerate existing hydrogen projects and stimulate new ones. The goal is to surpass the PNIEC's targets and establish clear pathways for decarbonisation post-2030. MASE is actively working on a 'National Hydrogen Strategy' by setting thematic indices and benchmark targets for hydrogen production. The establishment of the SouthH2 Corridor agreement with Austria and Germany marks a significant step towards enhancing hydrogen infrastructure. Additionally, the upcoming Draft Incentive Decree will provide incentives for renewable hydrogen production, aiming to clarify industry concerns and align with existing measures to promote real decarbonisation. Industry participants have raised questions regarding incentive access requirements, aid intensity, structure, and potential overlaps with other measures. MASE has assured coordination with existing measures like the PNRR to support green hydrogen production and consumption in hard-to-abate sectors. The Draft Incentive Decree is expected to address these concerns, providing clarity and making new initiatives financially viable to advance Italy's hydrogen development towards decarbonisation.
