Commission approves French Scheme to Boost Renewable and Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production
To support the production of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, the scheme will fund 1 GW of electrolysis capacity through competitive tenders and fixed premiums, contributing to France’s climate targets and the objectives of the EU Hydrogen Strategy, the Clean Industrial Deal, and the REPowerEU Plan.
The Commission found the scheme necessary and proportionate. It will have a limited impact on competition and positive environmental effects. It will help decarbonise sectors where electrification is not sufficient and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels.
