Hydrogen Acceleration Act

Source: International Energy Agency
Last updated: 05 September 2025
The law aims to accelerate the scale-up of hydrogen—especially renewable hydrogen—by streamlining planning, approval, and procurement processes. It introduces faster approval timelines, limits on appeals, digitalization requirements, and simplified procedures for hydrogen production, storage, transport, import, and related infrastructure like pipelines, port terminals, ammonia cracking, and power lines. Hydrogen infrastructure is designated as being of "overriding public interest," giving it priority in approvals. As of July 2025, the draft is open for public consultation until the end of the month.
