On July 25, 2023, a groundbreaking milestone for Belgium's energy landscape emerged as the law governing the transport of hydrogen through pipelines was unveiled in the Belgian Official Gazette. This momentous development signals a significant leap forward in the nation's hydrogen strategy. Our lawyers els empereur, Karel Veuchelen and Hadrien Bosly delve into the details of this transformative legislation, aimed at shaping the future of Belgium's hydrogen and energy sector.

'The EU approach to subsidies will be better than the US for getting #greenhydrogen projects over the line' Supply-side support might be politically popular, but has to be stacked with either mandates or other #subsidies for projects to take FID, according to panel of #industry executives Martijn Coopman Port of Rotterdam Fiona Simon Australian Hydrogen Council Mark Hutchinson Fortescue David Bow Verdagy #hydrogen #h2 #hydrogenindustry #hydrogenmarket #hydrogenstrategy #renewablehydrogen #hydrogenproduction #hydrogennow https://lnkd.in/eQdBpYQ3

With a budget of 113.500.000 euros, any legal entity can apply to Clean #Hydrogen Joint Undertaking The call covers key priorities from different areas of #research and #innovation, which will have a direct impact on the achievement of the objectives of the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking. It is also expected to contribute to the main objective set out in the European #GreenDeal: to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. 👇👇

🚀 Day 1 at the Hydrogen Americas 2024 Summit: so far, so good! The main message is clear: “Momentum is growing,” and “the time for hydrogen market lift-off is now.” 🌍 All speakers have emphasized the need for policies designed to close the cost gap between traditional fuels and hydrogen, making it easier to use hydrogen and support the energy transition. We saw examples like the American 45V tax credit system and Japan’s big fund for hydrogen projects, which are helpful as we are in the early stages in drafting our own Green Hydrogen Law in Venezuela. This is a key chance for Venezuela to explore alternatives to the traditional oil market and slowly move towards a more eco-friendly energy approach. #HydrogenSummit #GreenHydrogen #EnergyTransition #Venezuela #SustainableEnergy

🌟 Exciting Announcement! 🌟 I am delighted to share that my latest research article, co-authored with Kim Talus and Jaqueline Pinto, is now published in The Journal of World Energy Law & Business and is available in #openaccess! 📚 Title: “Realism at the end of the rainbow? An argument towards diversifying #hydrogen in EU regulation”. 🔗 You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ezdkcvGG Our study provides practical insights into the EU’s decarbonization efforts. We argue that a broader range of hydrogen pathways, rather than a sole focus on #RFNBOs, is essential for rapidly developing a hydrogen market. Our findings underscore the importance of diversifying hydrogen pathways to facilitate trade, reduce fragmentation, and accelerate the growth of the hydrogen market. 🌍💡 I am grateful for the support of the THERESA MSCA Doctoral Network, The Center for Climate Change, Energy and Environmental Law - CCEEL, and Oxford University Press.
