Competitive Decarbonised Gas Markets – What should be in the future Hydrogen Legislative Package

In December the European Commission will table the long-awaited legislative package that will provide the regulatory and legal framework for the future regulation and support of the EU’s emerging hydrogen market. This will cover issues such as:

• Which regulatory model – unbundling, TPA, tariff principles, should apply to the future hydrogen grid, and when?
• What is the appropriate definition for low-carbon hydrogen – which should qualify for inclusion in the EU’s future low and zero-carbon market?
• How should guarantees of origin and certification apply to low-carbon hydrogen?
• How to finance a hydrogen grid that will need to be built to excess capacity in the beginning?
• Should gas TSOs be the sole operators of the future hydrogen grid?
• How to regulate the gas and hydrogen RABs – joint? separate?

Join the next FSR debate to discuss these issues with our panel.
