Draft Rules Agreed for European Hydrogen Network

The European Network of Network Operators of Hydrogen (ENNOH) is poised to become a pivotal entity in the development of Europe’s hydrogen infrastructure. With the agreement on draft rules by future Hydrogen Transmission Network Operators (HTNOs), the formation of ENNOH is closer than ever, setting the stage for significant advancements in the hydrogen sector.

The European Commission, with EU Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson at the helm, has underscored the importance of ENNOH in achieving hydrogen targets. Commissioner Simson highlighted that ENNOH will exclusively focus on developing hydrogen networks, aiming to efficiently connect production sites with consumption locations. This strategic initiative reflects the Commission’s commitment to fostering a robust hydrogen economy within Europe.

The agreement among future HTNOs on draft rules, including the Articles of Association, Rules of Procedures, and List of Members, marks a significant milestone. These foundational documents will guide the operation and governance of ENNOH, ensuring that it can effectively manage hydrogen infrastructure and develop market rules. The next steps involve the evaluation of these drafts by the Commission and the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), which will be crucial in formalizing ENNOH’s establishment.

In comparison to other regions, Europe’s move to establish ENNOH is a proactive step towards creating a unified hydrogen network. For instance, the United States and Japan have made significant strides in hydrogen infrastructure but lack a centralized network management entity like ENNOH. This centralized approach could provide Europe with a competitive advantage in coordinating and optimizing hydrogen infrastructure development across member states.

Once established, ENNOH is expected to have a profound impact on the European hydrogen market. By streamlining the development of hydrogen networks, ENNOH can facilitate the efficient transport of hydrogen from production hubs, such as renewable energy plants, to consumption points in industrial and urban areas. This efficiency is crucial for reducing costs and making hydrogen a more viable option for decarbonizing various sectors, including transportation, industry, and heating.

Commissioner Simson’s remarks emphasize ENNOH’s critical role in delivering on the EU’s hydrogen targets. These targets include producing 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen in the EU by 2030 and importing an additional 10 million tons. Achieving these targets will require not only robust production capacities but also a well-coordinated infrastructure to distribute hydrogen effectively. ENNOH’s focus on network development and market rules positions it as a key player in meeting these ambitious goals.
