Hydrogen Delegated Acts: Implications of Europe’s new rules
Report summary
The European Commission released the long-awaited hydrogen Delegated Acts. These Acts define the rules for electricity used to produce hydrogen and for the carbon intensity of hydrogen and its derivates. The new rules will have a far-reaching impact as they must be followed by both domestic hydrogen producers and those looking to import hydrogen to the EU. They will have a far-reaching impact, as +30% of the hydrogen project pipeline is targeting exports. Developers in the Middle East, USA, Canada, Egypt, Australia and elsewhere will need to demonstrate they meet rules laid out in both of the Delegated Acts.
