Two-way CfD for renewable hydrogen

A €140 million (USD 152 million) two-way Contract for Difference (CfD) with a variable premium has been introduced to support renewable hydrogen and biomethane production, offering a 10-year contract capped at €127/MWh (~USD 4.6/kg) for injecting 120 GWh/year into the gas grid. In the first auction in February 2025, nearly all hydrogen was awarded at the maximum price. Eight hydrogen projects were selected, with the two largest, Hychem and WINPTX securing 30 GWh/year each, and the remaining six between 7–11 GWh/year. Producers will supply hydrogen to Transgas and receive guarantees of origin.
