Member states have approved the creation of a unified hydrogen operator, marking a significant milestone in the development of a robust EU hydrogen market. This move aims to promote the utilization of renewable and low-carbon gases in the energy system and aligns with the goal of producing 10 million tonnes of green hydrogen within the EU by 2030. The regulations mandate comprehensive network planning and oversight by ACER, while national governments are tasked with incorporating the rules into their domestic frameworks within two years. Key markets such as France, Germany, and Poland are expected to play a pivotal role in hydrogen production, although the EU remains committed to phasing out hydrogen derived from natural gas.
