In Belgium, a strategic move to strengthen the competitiveness of Europe’s industry and leverage the Union market towards more security of supply, diversification and decarbonization, the Commission launched the Hydrogen Mechanism under the EU Energy and Raw Materials Platform. The online platform will host different mechanisms covering hydrogen, raw materials, natural gas and biomethane, with the possibility to cover other products in the future. It aims to empower European companies to efficiently source energy and raw materials.
The launch marks the entry into operation of the first mechanism under the platform, the Hydrogen Mechanism, designed to support the market development of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives (ammonia, methanol, electro-sustainable aviation fuel ‘eSAF’). Stakeholders can now register on the Platform and subscribe to the EU Hydrogen Mechanism. The first round of matching demand and supply is planned for September 2025.
