On 2 July, the EU Hydrogen Mechanism (as part of EU Energy & Raw Materials Platform) was launched. The first round of demand and supply matching is planned for September 2025.
The Hydrogen Mechanism is designed to empower companies by matching and aggregating demand and supply, informing infrastructure development and linking with financial solutions. The mechanism is targeted at European off-takers of hydrogen, European and global suppliers of hydrogen, infrastructure operators, and financial institutions.
The Regulation on the internal markets for renewable gas, natural gas and hydrogen (EU/2024/1789) mandates the Commission to set up and operate the mechanism under the European Hydrogen Bank until the end of 2029. Hydrogen Mechanism aims to tackle the key issues recognized in hydrogen market development: demand and supply uncertainty, lack of infrastructures, and funding gaps.
The Mechanism will collect market information on demand and supply for voluntary market participants and on financial solutions tailored to hydrogen from public and private institutions. It will organise calls for interest for the collected demand and supply volumes and provide matchmaking services. The mechanism will cover both renewable (RFNBO) and low-carbon hydrogen and their derivatives (ammonia, methanol, eSAFs).
The Mechanism will also provide a platform for assessing market interest in infrastructure projects’ development.
Participation requires registration on the EU Energy and Raw Materials Platform (no costs, no obligation to participate).
