The European Commission has been at the forefront of promoting renewable hydrogen production in Europe. Starting with the introduction of a hydrogen strategy in 2020, the EU set an ambitious target of 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen by 2030. This goal was further bolstered by the REPowerEU communication in 2022, which added importing 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030 to the agenda. However, it wasn't until February 2023 that legislative frameworks, known as delegated acts, were put in place to define what constitutes renewable hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels under the EU terminology. These acts focus on ensuring that hydrogen is produced through electrolysis using electricity from renewable sources, with criteria such as temporal and geographical correlations and additionality to assess its qualification as renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO). Specific exemptions were introduced for certain bidding zones, allowing the utilization of existing renewable capacities and flexible sourcing of renewable energy, making project development more streamlined. By 2035, most EU Member States are expected to benefit from these exemptions, with projections showing that only Italy and Poland may not meet the criteria outlined for renewable hydrogen production. This signals a positive trajectory towards the widespread adoption of renewable hydrogen across Europe.
