Germany is seeking an EU delay to some of the rules on green hydrogen production to allow the industry to take off and produce clean hydrogen at lower costs
, Germany ’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck wrote this week in a letter to EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson seen by Bloomberg. The EU and Germany are betting on green hydrogen as a fuel for industry. The EU has set a priority to develop renewable hydrogen and help the uptake of renewable hydrogen, ammonia, and other derivatives in energy-intensive industrial processes and in hard-to-decarbonize sectors, such as transport.
This “additionality” norm should be delayed until 2035, the German minister argues in the letter, saying that “reality has shown that these requirements were still too high and are slowing down the ramp-up of the projects for the production of renewable hydrogen in Germany and many other member states.” In addition, the minister wrote, “Many companies have told me that the requirements often don’t allow for the economic realization of electrolysis projects in Germany.
