In a bold step to enhance Europe’s industrial competitiveness and accelerate decarbonisation, the European Commission has officially launched the Hydrogen Mechanism under the newly established 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. The EU energy platform aims to empower European companies to efficiently source energy and raw materials.

The Hydrogen Mechanism, the first of several proposed mechanisms on the platform, aims to bolster the market development of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives, including ammonia, methanol, and electro-sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF). The stakeholders are now invited to join the platform, with the first round of demand and supply matching planned for September 2025.

Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jorgensen said, “With the Hydrogen Mechanism launched today, we empower the European industry to seize competitive opportunities while advancing towards greater security of supply and decarbonisation. This is only the beginning of our work under the EU Energy and Raw Materials Platform, which shows that Europe is not just adapting to the future, it is actively shaping it.”

The EU energy platform will soon be extended to cover raw materials and gas mechanisms, furthering its contribution to the EU’s ambition of becoming climate-neutral by 2050.

Hydrogen has also become an essential element in decarbonizing sectors where emissions reduction is most difficult. The Regulation on the internal markets for renewable gas, natural gas and hydrogen (EU/2024/1789) requires the Commission to establish and run a mechanism under the European Hydrogen Bank to foster the market development of hydrogen for a limited period until 2029.

The move emphasizes the EU’s overall vision for attaining energy independence, such as phasing out Russian fossil fuels by 2027. Through its emphasis on sustainable long-term strategy, the Hydrogen Mechanism is poised to be a key driver for the energy shift in Europe, strengthening its status as a clean energy leader.
