Following the successful collection of supply offers under the Hydrogen Mechanism, the Commission is inviting European off-takers to express interest in these supply offers.
The new phase for off-takers, has started and will last until 20 March 2026.
As part of the EU Energy and Raw Materials Platform, the Hydrogen Mechanism connects potential off-takers in Europe with suppliers of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen or derivatives, including ammonia, methanol, eMethane and electro-sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF).
European and international companies showed significant interest in the matching opportunity. From 12 November 2025 to 2 January 2026, they placed supply offers from more than 260 projects. The Commission will present more details about the ongoing phase at an online webinar on 27 January.
Hydrogen plays an important role in decarbonising industrial processes and industries for which reducing carbon emissions is both urgent and hard to achieve. At the same time, it can strengthen the competitiveness of Europe’s industry and leverage the EU market towards more security of supply, diversification and decarbonisation.
Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen said:
“The EU’s Hydrogen Mechanism is a new, innovative tool to help develop the market. With strong interest shown from suppliers across Europe and beyond, the initiative is off to a very promising start. I invite European buyers to now seize this opportunity and connect with potential suppliers. The Hydrogen Mechanism is one of the instruments which will help us to make our energy system cleaner, more secure and more affordable.”
