Wie die EU kohlenstoffarmen Wasserstoff zertifizieren kann

The European Union faces a significant hydrogen supply gap, with demand projected to rise from 8.3 million tonnes per year to over 60 million tonnes by 2050, necessitating imports from regions such as the Middle East, North Africa, and the USA. The Clean Air Task Force argues that current certification efforts are often voluntary or too narrow, focusing only on production plants rather than the full value chain. To avoid market uncertainty and investment risks, the document recommends that the EU's 'Gas Package' and subsequent delegated acts establish a technology-neutral certification methodology. This methodology must employ a full life-cycle analysis (LCA) that includes upstream methane leaks, transport, storage, and distribution to ensure genuine greenhouse gas reductions.

• EU hydrogen demand is expected to increase significantly by 2050, from 8.3 million tonnes per year (Mt/pa) to more than 60 Mt/pa (or from 280 TWh to over 2,000 TWh), with the World Energy Council estimating that 50% of this demand must be met through imports.
• Existing hydrogen certification systems are largely inadequate because they are often voluntary and fail to account for the entire value chain, frequently limiting their scope to the production plant alone.
