European Commission Awards $1B in Green Hydrogen Subsidies
- The European Commission awarded €992 million in public funding to 15 renewable hydrogen projects across five countries to produce 2.2 million tonnes of green hydrogen over 10 years.
- This second European Hydrogen Bank auction aimed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and scale up renewable hydrogen in hard-to-decarbonise sectors such as transportation and chemicals.
- Selected projects include three maritime-focused initiatives receiving £96.7 million in grants with subsidies ranging from £0.45 to £1.88 per kilogram of hydrogen to reflect higher costs in shipping fuel.
- The subsidy period extends up to 10 years with fixed premiums between €0.20 and €0.60 per kilogram encouraging commercial viability and supporting Europe’s climate and energy goals, according to Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra.
- Projects must finalize agreements by October 2025, reach financial close within 2.5 years, and begin production within five years, while a third auction with a €1 billion budget is planned for late 2025 to maintain momentum.
